Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of TraumaThe patented C-A-TA(R) is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100 effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.The Gen 7 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.
