Description
The North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet Gen 7 (30-0001) is the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005 — proven 100% effective at occluding blood flow of an extremity by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. When hemorrhage control matters most, this is what the military trusts.
The Gen 7 CAT features a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band that delivers true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once tightened, the windlass locks into place and a hook-and-loop retention strap secures it for casualty evacuation. The dual securing system eliminates screws and clips that can fail under stress or when fine motor skills are compromised.
⚠️ This is a genuine North American Rescue CAT tourniquet. Always train before use. For emergency hemorrhage control only.
