The CAT tourniquet utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band, to provide true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass can then be locked into place.

Once this is done, the hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The CAT’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under stress or when fine motor skills are compromised.

Each Combat Application Tourniquet® features the red tip design, making it easy to spot and begin application.
