## Description

Product Description North American Rescue's fully functioning Gen 7 C-A-T tourniquet is colored blue to identify it as a training device enabling instructors and trainees hands-on training & tourniquet application practice with a distinct visual means to distinguish training devices from personal/operational life-saving devices. The CAT 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 patented Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) featuring the proprietary red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005. The innovations in the CAT are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253. Manufacturer Contact Information 888-689-6277

Review: Genuine CAT Gen 7 Tourniquet - Exactly What I Wanted - When it comes to emergency medical gear, this isn’t an item where I want to cut corners. After inspecting this CAT Gen 7 tourniquet, I’m confident I received a genuine product. The packaging, labeling, lot information, and overall construction all matched what I expected from North American Rescue. The stitching is clean, the windlass feels solid, and the hook-and-loop material has a strong grip. I also appreciate that the pull tab is easy to locate and grab, which is important if you ever need to apply it under stress. Before adding it to my IFAK, I took it out to inspect the construction and familiarize myself with how it deploys. Everything operated smoothly, and it fits perfectly in my belt-mounted tourniquet holder. What I liked: * Appears to be an authentic CAT Gen 7. * Excellent build quality. * Strong hook-and-loop retention. * Durable composite windlass. * Clear manufacturer markings and lot information. * Fits standard tourniquet holders without issue. Things to know: This is lifesaving equipment, not range gear. I recommend anyone purchasing one inspect it upon arrival, learn how to use it properly, and practice with a dedicated training tourniquet instead of your duty or emergency-use tourniquet. That way your emergency tourniquet remains in new condition if you ever need it. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would buy another without hesitation. When it comes to medical equipment, peace of mind is worth paying for.
Review: Buy the Real One, Not a Knockoff - This is one of those products where authenticity actually matters. The genuine North American Rescue Gen 7 C-A-T is trusted for a reason, and if you are going to carry a tourniquet, carry a real one, not some questionable knockoff with mystery plastic and fake stitching. I carried CAT tourniquets professionally, trained with them, and trusted them when things were serious. They are simple, proven, compact, and designed to work under stress. The Gen 7 improvements are solid, and the gray time strap is a nice touch for quickly marking application time. This is not range cosplay gear or something to toss in a drawer and forget about. It is legitimate lifesaving equipment. Mine live in medical kits, vehicles, outdoor gear, and range setups because if you ever need one, you need it immediately and you need it to work. The build quality is excellent, the windlass feels solid, and it is exactly what I expected from genuine NAR equipment. If you are building a trauma kit, first aid setup, range bag, or emergency kit, this is worth having. Buy once, buy real, and train with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is different between this device and an actual CAT that makes it a training device only?**
A: I don't believe there is any difference. I can pass on what was told to me in various courses. "The idea behind the different color is so you don't constantly use ones in training that will be used in actual emergencies." The concern is that one used in training over and over may be stressed and may not actually hold up as well when needed ( plastic buckel and Velcro).  The colors do have meaning though. Black= tactical, red/orange= Fire/rescue, blue= training.

**Q: I have a Gen 4 Cat tourniquet. Is it ok to train with this trainer?**
A: Hi if you are teaching different groups then i would suggest getting the gen 7 has these are the ones in current use

**Q: I know it is says the blue is for training but can I use this as a field TQ and not for training ???**
A: Yes, the Blue CAT is fine to use in the field...This fully functioning Gen 7 C-A-T® tourniquet is colored blue to identify it as a training device enabling instructors and trainees hands-on training & tourniquet application practice with a distinct visual means to distinguish training devices from personal/operational life-saving devices.

**Q: The list description states gen 7, but the picture shows and older version.  is this an actual gen 7 cat?  thanks.**
A: Yes all the CAT tourniquets we stock are 2016 GEN 7, its just difficult to get good up to date imagery

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No reason not to have 1! Since being introduced in 2005 they have lowered exsanguination deaths 85%
*by J***. on November 3, 2018*

Teriffic Tourniquets now even better! If I could give more stars I would. Our military chose and introduced this as THE combat Tourniquet in 2005 and every solider was and still is issued/carries at least 1 of and medics began carrying in their med kits since then exsanguination deaths have dropped an amazing 85%! So drastically in fact that stateside paramedics and even police officers and I myself carry these proven Tourniquets EVERYDAY. Belt holsters (also available on Amazon $20+) have made the ability to quickly locate and use as well as daily carry a non issue. The new gray tips windlass is reinforced as are other parts and have a few slight differences including making the original Tourniquets need (or so says the company) for running the end thru the buckle a non issue, and decreasing the amount of time needed to stop a severe hemorrhage. I have these and the original CATs in all my med bags and IFAKS as you can't go wrong with them. I don't only have CATs but SOFTTs, RATS, SWAT TOURNIQUETS, and K&M?? Tourniquets and have tried them all finding pros and cons to each and I don't believe any of them are 'THE PERFECT' Tourniquet although I find the CATs a solid addition to my med kits especially with the newer design. I work in construction and have seen a lot of accidents with saws and fingers or legs so for my own EDC I carry both a CAT and RAT in my pockets and more CAT and the other types I mentioned in my med kits. I carry the RAT type as its amazingly fast to apply even one handed. The CAT is also one hand applyable but takes slightly more time due to the strap adjustments BUT it does a better job stopping hommorage compleatly with its windlass design and the way it's easier to adjust the tightness WITHOUT it removing pressure before the strap is also been proven better than the RAT but MAINLY due to its being applied wrong yet even applied wrong (applied by a average citizen with no first aid or medical training it is very simple and obvious how to use it IF you have it kept correctly prior to their using it) the obvious ease and speed it requires to apply has made it my choice as a first Tourniquet to apply especially if it's me that needs it as again it's self explanatory and I've found it will work well enough even if not setup right and in any way I can apply it. Many medics, Drs, and myself agree a second tourniquet in your bag is a must as even a CAT may need to be adjusted after applying and though it doesn't require a full release to adjust it even letting up on a bleeder that's slowed and beginning to clot it may allow it to start bleeding faster when adjusted.. SO in comes the second tourniquet besides it being there if you have multiple victims or someone requiring multiple Tourniquets due to multiple limb losses, gun shots, or stabbings a second Tourniquet allows you to quickly apply one to stop as much bleeding as possible and if necessary a second Tourniquet can be added above the first. Back to my choice in EDC Tourniquets I find the RAT perfect for fast application so you can stop at least most of not all bleeding and take other life saving actions necessary then if still bleeding a CAT or another CAT can be applied 2" above the RAT or first CAT cinch it down tighter and ALWAYS MARK THE TIME this is important for the Drs at the hospital to decide what they can or can't do depending on the time your appendage is without blood circulation.
