Description: Emergency Medical Equipment CAT Combat Application Tourniquet Gen 6 Not in wrapper: Used for training once, NOT on a human. Great shape U.S. Made, North American Rescue NOT Fake Chinese made Genuine CAT Tourniquet Gen 6 The Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) has been proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper and lower extremities by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. The CAT is the fastest, safest and most effective prehospital field tourniquet. The CAT uses a self-adhering band and friction adaptor buckle to fit patient extremities. The device can be applied using one or two hands. The older version of the tourniquet, "Generation 6," which was developed through research at the Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, is a small, lightweight tourniquet designed to completely stop arterial blood flow from an injured limb. The "Generation 6" CAT model has two slots on the buckle and could be used to either double-route (buddy care) or single-route (self-care) the belt. While the updated CAT single-slot buckle is designed for faster and easier application, the Army emphasizes that both models are effective. "Soldiers who have an older version should not feel they have to replace their device by getting the newer version or fear that the older version is any less effective," Harrington said. Both have been tested by the Army Medical Research Materiel Command's Institute of Surgical Research and the Navy. Additionally, Army medics are now trained on both versions.
