CAT® 7GEN Tourniquet

The most common simple tourniquet is easy to apply with one hand. In emergency situations, the CAT® completely blocks blood flow in traumatic injuries with severe bleeding. This tourniquet uses a freely moving clamping system on the tape to create increased pressure around the entire circumference. After tightening the turnstile, the clamping system is secured with a Velcro strap to prevent it from loosening during transport of the injured person and the time of application of the tourniquet is recorded on the white field.

FUNCTION

Since its combat introduction by the U.S. Army in 2005, the Combat Application Tourniquet® – a true one-handed tourniquet – has reduced mortality from extreme exsanguination by 85%. The U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it 100% effective.

Now, C•A•T Resources has developed the all-new C•A•T® GEN7. After extensive field reviews, the C•A•T® GEN7 has been completely redesigned, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet® to date. The new GEN7 is easier to use thanks to a single application protocol, single buckle routing system, and further improvements to its components and construction.

• Orange CAT has the same properties as the black one but is specially designed for ambulance and rescue services.
• Blue CAT has the same properties as the others but is specially designed and may only be used for teaching/training.

FAST. SAFE. EFFECTIVE. THE GEN7 ADVANTAGE.

Single Routing Buckle is a direct response to in-depth field and test report reviews. The C•A•T® GEN7 features a new single-route buckle system, allowing for easier and faster application with more effective slack removal, resulting in reduced blood loss with fewer anchor loops.

WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Despite the proven effectiveness of the Combat Application Tourniquet®, the new C•A•T® GEN7 goes even further to make it easier and faster to use. All six components of the Combat Application Tourniquet® feature an updated design and improved C•A•T® GEN7.

• SINGLE ROUTING BUCKLE - Decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, simplified training with single protocol application standards
• WINDLASS ROD - Increased diameter, enhanced strength, aggressive ribbing improves grip
• WINDLASS CLIP - Bilateral beveled entry, rapid windlass lock, bilateral buttress, added strength
• WINDLASS STRAP - New reinforced strap, gray color for tactical considerations (Black only)
• STABILIZATION PLATE - Reinforced, beveled contact bar, improved comfort
• FREE-MOVING INTERNAL BAND - Patented band within band, truly even distribution of circumferential pressure
