Cat Tourniquet

The CAT utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place

What is a Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT)? A tourniquet is a device that can be used in the event of an emergency to stop the flow of blood. It works by applying pressure to a limb or extremity. The CAT Combat Application Torniquet is the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army.
