Description

The Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) is a small and lightweight tourniquet that completely occludes arterial blood flow in an extremity. The CAT is self-contained, and does not require a separate stick to tighten the tourniquet since the CAT uses a windlass to tighten its strap. The windlass can be locked in place once the bleeding has been stopped. The CAT can also be applied with one hand if necessary.
