Customer Reviews of C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet - Black
Customer Review: Military issue item
Summary: 5 Stars
The military issues these to troops in combat zones. It won't do you much good in a kit in a closet, but if for whatever reason your daily life has you worried about massive hemorrhaging this is the perfect thing to carry in a pocket. These are made for one-handed application, and you will want to practice with it. The military's training in their use involves many drills a day for several days with an instructor suddenly turning off the lights and yelling "Right Leg!" or "Left Arm!" with very little time allowed for getting it right. Make sure you tighten the tourniquet until you can't feel a pulse in the limb below it so you get a feel for how tight it needs to be. There's not much else to say... these are the perfect tool for the job where a tourniquet is needed, but are almost certainly overkill for most first aid kits.
Description of C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet - Black
Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma The C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. 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 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 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.Products
