North American Rescue - 30-0001-BLK Military Issue, Black

The patented C-A-TA(R) is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. 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 CAT's unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised. The patented Combat Application TourniquetA(R) (C-A-TA(R)) 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.Specifications and Features:Official tourniquet of the US ArmyProven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in upper & lower extremitiesFeaturing NAR's red tip technology with red elliptical tip to assist user in locating and threadingReinforced windlass clip & highly visible security tab includes a writeable area to record the time of applicationBeware cheap imported imitations that will place your (or your patient's) life in extreme danger
