Productomschrijving
The C-A-T Tourniquet (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a professional tourniquet for rapidly stopping life-threatening bleeding in arms and legs. This tourniquet is used worldwide by military units, police, emergency services, and tactical teams, including the Dutch and Belgian armies.
The C-A-T Tourniquet is designed for one-handed use and is known for its reliability and effectiveness in emergency situations. Research from the US Army Institute of Surgical Research shows that the tourniquet is capable of completely occluding blood flow in severe traumatic hemorrhages.
Thanks to its strong windlass system and internal band, even pressure is built up around the limb. Once the tourniquet is tightened, the windlass is firmly locked and further secured with a hook-and-loop strap to maintain pressure during transport or evacuation.
The Combat Application Tourniquet is widely used in first aid, emergency response, trauma, and tactical medical care, and is suitable for situations where rapid action is vital.
