One-Handed Application When Seconds Matter

When seconds matter, simple, one-handed application solves the biggest pain point in trauma care: getting enough pressure on a limb quickly. The patented windlass and free-moving internal band apply true circumferential pressure, which the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research found 100% effective at occluding blood flow in upper and lower extremities. Orange offers high visibility for EMS. Black blends with duty gear and tactical kits. Blue is a full-function trainer for classroom and field drills.

Duty-Ready Construction and Genuine NAR Quality

Built for hard use, the C-A-T features a single routing buckle for faster slack removal, aggressive ribbing on a large-diameter windlass for a secure grip, and a reinforced stabilization plate for comfort during movement. Red Tip Technology guides the strap through the buckle under stress. The writeable security strap locks the windlass during evacuation. MPN 30-0001 gives you the genuine NAR C-A-T trusted in IFAKs, trauma kits, and Stop the Bleed programs.
