The patented Combat Application Tourniquet ( 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. - Features: - Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army, Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper lower extremities by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research, lsquo;Single Routing Buckle' for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards, Includes reinforced windlass, stabilization plate, windlass clip and writeable windlass security strap, Featuring NAR's signature Red Tip Technology elliptical tab providing added visual clues during application, Variations: - Orange (Item 30-0023): EMS, Black (Item 30-0001): Military, Blue (Item 30-0033): Trainer, Specifications: - Latex-free, Open length: 37.5rdquo;, Product dimensions: 6.5rdquo; L x 2.4rdquo; W x 1.5rdquo; D, CE certified, Made in the USA, NTOA approved, Review: It’s legit - First time buy from you guys after getting faked out in the UK one too many times. I hope to never have to use one of these but it’s always good to have a couple, just in case. Thanks a bunch 🇬🇧 Review: Industry Standard - Top Quality by a trusted brand and used by medics everywhere

The Bees-knees but costly and slowly delivered
If you are after a CAT for civilian use then this is the one. Why buy cheaper than the genuine article, if you need this critical life saving item then a cheap knockoff might work but, I mean, really? Why risk? The orange is bright orange, and strap a good width, it feels strong and you know on handling it it will simply work. it comes in a plastic shrink wrap with instructions, get it out that wrap and store in an accessible way, time is critical. So why only 4 stars? This is a pricey item but not stocked by Amazon in uk, they get sent over individually on order from the US. First aid suppliers stock in uk and sell it cheaper but you will need to pay postage- as a prime customer it made sense for me to buy Amazon but it was a tough call. I hope never ever to use this, but If you want a TQ simply to be a poser, knowing you will for sure never use one you might want something cheaper. If there is the slightest thought that you may need it for real then get this. Either way please go on a first aid course.

Weak unit, dangerous
I bought several of these to pass out to hiking colleagues. I tried using one on myself and the stitching pulled apart - absolutely useless. So I tried a second one, and guess what? Yup the stitching again pulled apart. Only fit for the bin........ someone's health could be seriously compromised if reliance is placed on this device. Not impressed.

Get it!
This seemed expensive to me, but a tourniquet isn't something I wanted to cheap out on. I love the bright orange. Seems like good quality. Comes with a little instruction sheet to show you how to store it for quick application, and some care instructions, etc.

Quality worth the price
This is the approved, copyright licensed, extensively tested tourniquet. It's the "real deal", not a cheap knockoff. Yeah, it's more expensive than many competitors. The quality is there, with a wider belt and a stronger windlass, and, except for the "civilian" bright orange color, it as an issued item to US military medics. Let's hope we never have to use it.

Not cheap but can count on it
Good, reliable and simple to use if/when you need it for peripheral injuries
