Coyote Tan Rigid Tourniquet Case, Gen 7, CAT Tourniquet - Black
Description
CAT Tourniquet - Black & Rigid Coyote Tan Case Combination.... Always have the Gen 7 C-A-T within easy reach, yet keep it protected in a rigid holder capable of withstanding foot pursuits, combative subjects and daily patrol functions without allowing it to fall out of the carrier. The Gen 7 C-A-T RIGID TQ Case was designed to provide personnel with the capability to carry the life-saving C-A-T Tourniquet on their person by easily mounting it to their duty/patrol/pistol belt, where it is needed most. It can be mounted either vertically or horizontally and can also be attached to a Safariland Drop Leg Shroud using the existing holes (the case mounts with 2 screws in the middle of the case). Manufactured by Eleven 10 DESCRIPTION Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma The Cat Tourniquet... The patented C-A-T is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T's unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.
