The ability to react quickly in life-threatening situations is crucial. The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) is a tourniquet used by military, medics and rescuers worldwide. Thanks to its unique design with a patented rotary system, it allows for easy and effective arterial bleeding control with one hand. This makes it an indispensable element of any first aid kit for crisis situations.
The C-A-T is designed with maximum practicality in mind. Thanks to its self-locking buckle and wide strap, it can be easily applied even in adverse conditions. Additionally, the tourniquet is equipped with a fixation to ensure proper tightening and minimize the risk of failure.
This model is approved by the U.S. military and is used in both combat and civilian rescue operations. Research has demonstrated its high effectiveness in preventing bleeding out, and its use is part of standard first aid procedures in armed forces and medical organizations.
Thanks to its lightweight and compact design, the C-A-T can be easily carried in a first aid kit, backpack or on a belt. Its robust material ensures resistance to water, dust and mechanical damage, making it ready for use anytime and anywhere.
