From the manufacturer

Secure and Utilitarian

With the C-A-T RESOURCES CAT Combat Application Tourniquet, you will be able to occlude blood flow in case of an extremity of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T RESOURCES CAT Combat Application Tourniquet utilizes a durable windlass system with free-moving internal band that provides true circumferential pressure to an extremity.

With a Hook and Loop

You will be able to tighten the belt of the C-A-T RESOURCES CAT Combat Application Tourniquet and secure the windlass to maintain a certain pressure to reduce or stop blood flow.

Product Description

The patented C-A-T is a one-handed tourniquet. Tests proved that the C-A-T completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T 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 C-A-T'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 Tourniquet (C-A-T) features the red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band. Stabilization Plate - Reinforced, beveled contact bar, improved comfort.

Life-saving equipment for anyone!! Genuine product!
North American Rescue has a long history of being a reputable company for mission critical medical products. Their CAT tourniquet (TQ) is no exception. There is a reason it is the official TQ of the US Army; it is, as research has shown and in my mind, the best tourniquet on the market today. After reading and watching numerous review videos from end-users and tactical medical professionals, I decided to purchase the gen 7 CAT TQ to carry while on duty as a law enforcement officer. The TQ I received was indeed a genuine CAT, gen 7 tourniquet. The quality is great and just as expected. It is intuitive and easy to use when folded and "staged" correctly. The large, windlass makes it easy to tighten with not only my "strong hand" but also my nondominant side hand. I carry my TQ on my duty belt in an Eleven10 rigid TQ holder. Luckily, I haven't had to use this product yet, but the reassurance I have from purchasing this quality, life-saving product is invaluable. My only complaint, as others have said, is the price; for such a valuable piece of equipment, I wish it was a little cheaper.

Reviewed in Canada on August 15, 2021
It's expensive, maybe even a ripoff, but you get what you pay for. I had a knock-off CAT lying around, and this is clearly better. Sure, the knockoff for $10 may work too, but "may" is not a risk you want to take. The windlass is much sturdier on this CAT, the holder works way better, and the overall build quality is noticeably better. Invest in solid equipment, you'll never regret it later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine item. Not cheap knock-off.
Reviewed in Australia on February 8, 2023
This is a genuine North American Rescue Gen-7 CAT tourniquet (see photo showing the relevant branding and model text, attached), not one of the cheap and nasty knock-offs out there (ie: the seller is trustworthy). I've tested it on both an arm and a leg, and it was very effective on both limbs tested, with no sign of any deterioration of the product after use (as expected from the genuine article). I'm very happy with the purchase.
