CAT tourniquet was invented by CAT Resources, owned by Composite Resources. It was tested along with eight other tourniquets in 2004 at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio, Texas. The evaluation was prompted because many deploying Soldiers and units were purchasing tourniquets off the Internet, but the tourniquets’ effectiveness had not been determined. Once testing was complete, the institute’s researchers recommended the Combat Application Tourniquet be pushed to deployed troops to stop otherwise lethal blood loss.

More Information from the Producer:
Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma

The patented C-A-T® 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 C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The C-A-T® 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. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T®’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) featuring the mechanical advantage of a band within a band has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005. The innovations in the C-A-T® are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.

The CAT Tourniquet gen 7 is also available in the following colors:
Blue for Training.

    Posted by JOSÉ MANUEL on 29th Jan 2024

    LA ATENCIÓN POR PARTE DE LA EMPRESA HA SIDO INMEJORABLE. EL PEDIDO SE HA TRAMITADO Y ENVIADO EN TIEMPO RÉCORD (SI HA LLEGADO CON RETRASO, HA SIDO POR CULPA DE ADUANAS DE ESPAÑA). DEL PRODUCTO EN SÍ, QUÉ PODRÍA DECIR QUE NO SE SEPA YA: SI QUIERES UN TORNIQUETE DE CALIDAD (NO UNA MALA COPIA CHINA), QUE NO TE VAYA A DEJAR TIRADO CUANDO MÁS LO NECESITES, SÓLO TIENES QUE BUSCAR OTRAS RESEÑAS Y VERÁS QUE ES DE LO MEJOR QUE SE PUEDE ADQUIRIR HOY EN DÍA. ¡AH!, EL HECHO DE QUE VENGA EN UN SET DE TRES ABARATA MUCHO LOS COSTES RESPECTO A COMPRAR LOS TRES TORNIQUETES DE FORMA INDIVIDUAL (TANTO QUE YA COMPENSA LOS GASTOS DE ENVÍO). PRODUCTO RECOMENDABLE Y EMPRESA MUY RECOMENDABLE.
