The Gold Standard in Prehospital Tourniquets

The North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) Gen 7 is the fastest, safest, and most effective prehospital field tourniquet available. Recognized as one of the U.S. Army's "Top 10 Greatest Inventions," the C-A-T has been the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005 — trusted in combat theaters, emergency rooms, and civilian preparedness kits around the world.

The Gen 7 features a patented free-moving internal band that delivers true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, the windlass locks into place and a hook-and-loop retention strap secures it during movement or evacuation. Exceeds the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Standard for tourniquets.
