Combat-Application-Tourniquet (Gen. 7)

The Combat Application Tourniquet® or simply CAT is a one-hand ligation system for tourniquet or momentary interruption of blood flow in emergency situations, especially in tactical wound care. An individually adjustable strap allows the tourniquet to be applied to all extremities. The winch system (band with toggle) tightens a freely movable internal band to stop the flow of arterial blood into the limb. To fix the toggle under a clamp hook only need a handle. During transport, the Velcro closure of the CAT™ provides additional security.

Tourniquet instruction

The Tourniquet can also be applied one-handed in an emergency.

1. open the CAT™ so that the belt forms an O-shaped loop. Then place the CAT™ above the bleeding in the direction of the trunk. To do this, pass the injured limb through the O-shaped loop of the Velcro strap.

Tighten the strap so that only a maximum of two fingertips fit between the tourniquet and the limb. Then firmly connect the Velcro surfaces together.

3. now turn the toggle until the bleeding stops and the pulse below the wound site is no longer palpable.

4. Secure the toggle under the clamping hook. Check the bleeding and pulse again – if necessary, increase the pressure by turning the toggle further.

5. Now place the end of the belt over the toggle and the clamping hook and fix both with the securing Velcro. Then, if possible, note the time of attachment.

Buying CAT Tourniquet – what matters?

Regardless of whether it is used in first aid at work or in emergency rescue, keep in mind when purchasing the CAT Tourniquet that the system may only be used by trained personnel and in life-threatening emergency situations – and that other rescue measures, such as a pressure bandage, do not promise success. Traumatic amputations may be one use.

Due to the intended use, please also pay attention to the guaranteed manufacturer’s certificate when purchasing a Tourniquet. Low quality plagiarized products may not be able to build up the necessary pressure, consistently loosen or tear. Do not again endanger the life you are trying to save.
