Secure the rod and band with the strap The C-A-T ® is a true one-handed tourniquet scientifically proven by the U.S. Army?s Institute of Surgical Research to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities 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 Velcro ® 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. The C-A-T ® requires minimal cube space on your person or in your kit and is affordable & easy-to-apply, even to entrapped limbs. It's rugged construction is designed for use in ALL weather conditions.?
