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.
