Tests proved that the CAT completely occluded the blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The Gen 7 CAT utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will stop and the windlass will be locked into place. A hook-and-loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®), featuring the proprietary red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band, has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005. The innovations in the CAT are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.\n\u003cp\u003eEducational Materials can be found\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.narescue.com\/education\/cat-tourniquet-education.html\" title=\"CAT Education\"\u003eHERE.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sketchfab-embed-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"300px\" src=\"https:\/\/sketchfab.com\/models\/a77e2e426df54b59b69bbe0836fd4a53\/embed\" title=\"C-A-T® Gen 7\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Guardian Medical Education","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":47827809206504,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":47827809272040,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":48214024356072,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/3471\/0504\/files\/CATCOLORS.jpg?v=1763589109","url":"https:\/\/guardianmedicaledu.com\/products\/combat-application-tourniquet-c-a-t","provider":"Guardian Medical Education","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
