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. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) featuring the proprietary red tip design and 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 CAT are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"html\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"html\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEducational Materials can be found\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.narescue.com\/education\/cat-tourniquet-education.html\" title=\"CAT Education\"\u003eHERE.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"North American Rescue","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":41643816288349,"sku":"30-0001","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":41643816321117,"sku":"30-0023","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":41643816353885,"sku":"30-0033","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/2823\/7405\/files\/30-0001_30-0023_30-0033.jpg?v=1709596236","url":"https:\/\/firstlinegear.org\/products\/combat-application-tourniquet-c-a-t","provider":"Firstline Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
