Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CAT tourniquet?
The CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a medical tourniquet made to control severe extreme levels of bleeding on a limb, with only one hand. It is commonly used in both military and civilian medical emergencies.
What are the key features of this tourniquet?
This tourniquet includes a single routing buckle which allows for faster application as well as decreasing blood loss. The CAT tourniquet also has a reinforced windlass rod which gives a majorly improved grip, and a free-moving internal band for a fully even circumferential pressure.
Can the CAT tourniquet be used with one hand?
This medical tourniquet is specifically made for one-handed application, which makes it a great solution for searching for further medical supplies, such as a bleed kit, or for self-application.
Is this tourniquet suitable for workplace first aid kits?
A tourniquet can be an essential supply to stock in any first aid kit, especially those in higher risk industries such as construction or industrial workplaces. While they are strongly recommended, they are not yet mandatory.
