North American Rescue 30-0023 C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet Orange

The North American Rescue 30-0023 C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet Orange is a revolutionary product that has been proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. This tourniquet is a true one-handed device that can completely occlude blood flow to a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The Gen 7 CAT utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band that provides true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied to secure the windlass and maintain pressure during casualty evacuation.

One of the unique features of the CAT is its dual securing system, which avoids the use of screws and clips that can be difficult to operate under survival stress or when fine motor skills are compromised. The CAT's patented design, featuring the proprietary red tip, has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005.

The North American Rescue 30-0023 C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet Orange also includes several innovative features that set it apart from other tourniquets on the market. It has a single routing buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, and fewer windlass turns. The windlass rod has been reinforced with an increased diameter for enhanced strength and aggressive ribbing for improved grip. The tourniquet also features a bilateral windlass clip for rapid lock and a bilateral buttress for added strength.

The stabilization plate has also been reinforced with a beveled contact bar for increased durability. The tourniquet's signature red elliptical tip, also known as Red Tip Technology®, provides a visual cue during application, making it easier to use in high-stress situations. The patented free-moving internal band ensures that pressure is evenly distributed around the extremity.

Overall, the North American Rescue 30-0023 C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet Orange is a reliable, effective, and innovative product that is trusted by the U.S. Army and designed to save lives in emergency situations.
