The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) - aka CAT Tourniquet Gen 7 or CAT TQ
The Gold Standard in occluding massive hemorrhaging on a patient's limbs.
Every single person should have multiple TQ's on them while conducting military or law enforcement operations. Also great for everyday carry as you are statistically more likely to encounter a medical emergency in your daily life rather than a scenario which requires you to use deadly force.
The C-A-T is the Official Tourniquet of the U.S Army and has been proved to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper and lower extremities. (U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research)
This generation features the New Single Routing Buckle, reinforced windlass, stabilization plate, windlass clip, and the writeable security tab.
The C-A-T is known for fast application, which aids with decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training.
Pair this with any of the Spiritus Systems Fanny packs, Austere Medical Kits or other NAR medical gear found here.
