Top-Rated Performance and Innovation

Praised as the top pre-hospital tourniquet in an issue of The Journal of Trauma (February 2008), the Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) by North American Rescue is a truly revolutionary life-saving tool. This patented tourniquet, backed by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research, has been proven to be 100% effective in severing blood flow from a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The CAT is designed with a patented windlass system and a free-moving internal band for true even pressure distribution on the limb. This tourniquet has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005 and has been named as one of the “Top 10 Greatest Inventions” by the U.S. Army.

Product Specifications and Enhanced Design

The seventh-generation CAT boasts various enhancements, making it an ideal choice for many front-line roles. This includes Police Officers, Firefighter Rescue Personnel, EMS/Paramedics, security, and Military personnel. Its Single Routing Buckle accelerates the application process, minimizing blood loss, and reducing windlass turns. Other improvements include a reinforced windlass rod with increased diameter for enhanced strength, a windlass clip for rapid windlass lock, a stabilization plate with a beveled contact bar, and a signature red elliptical tip (Red Tip Technology®) for visual cues during application. It measures 6.5 in (L) x 2.4 in (W) x 1.5 in (D) when packaged, and 37.5 in when open, weighing just 3.04 oz.
