The Gen 7 CAT Tourniquet utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. This one-handed application tourniquet quickly controls life-threatening extremity bleeding. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place by a hook and loop retention strap, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during evacuation. The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) featuring the proprietary red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band is the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army. Innovations in the CAT are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253
