Product description:

Dive into the world of life-saving immediate measures with the original Combat Application Tourniquet® (CAT®) in black – now available at hs-arms! In critical situations, every second counts.

CAT® Tourniquet: Quality that matters – the original!

The CAT® is the one-handed tourniquet system of choice for anyone who must act in an emergency. Whether in terrorist attacks, serious accidents, or tactical operations – this tourniquet is an essential part of modern casualty care. Trust a product that has proven itself worldwide in the most challenging situations.

Your advantages with the original CAT® Tourniquet

- Adaptability: The individually adjustable strap fits optimally to most extremities and ensures safe application.
- Intuitive operation: The robust, ergonomic knob can be easily grasped and turned even under stress to build the necessary pressure.
- Effective bleeding control: The unique winding system with a freely movable inner band reliably stops arterial blood flow to the extremity.
- Lightning-fast fixation: With just one hand movement, you secure the knob under the clamp hook.
- Safe transport: The additional Velcro strap provides extra stability and security during transport.

Application of the CAT® Tourniquet: Step by step to a lifesaver

The correct application of a tourniquet should always be trained. However, in an absolute emergency, when other measures such as a pressure bandage fail, anyone can effectively use the CAT®. It can even be applied one-handed!

- Preparation: Open the CAT® so that the strap forms an O-shaped loop. Then place it above the bleeding, towards the torso, on the injured extremity.
- Tight application: Pull the strap tight enough that a maximum of two fingertips fit between the tourniquet and the extremity. Then firmly connect the Velcro surfaces together.
- Pressure build-up: Turn the knob until the bleeding stops and the pulse below the wound site is no longer palpable.
- Securing: Secure the knob under the clamp hook. Check bleeding and pulse again; if necessary, increase pressure by further turning the knob.
- Final fixation & documentation: Lay the end of the strap over the knob and clamp hook and secure both with the securing Velcro. If possible, note the time of application.

Why the original matters: Recognize counterfeits!

The market is unfortunately flooded with imitations of the CAT®. These counterfeits may not build the necessary pressure, may loosen, or even tear – endangering the life you want to save. Rely on the original from hs-arms from a safe source!

Indicators of a counterfeit may include:

- Red tip outside the USA (the original for the international market has a black tip).
- Missing or inferior instructions, often not in German and lacking important medical product information such as manufacturer, EC-REP, or importer.

Qualitative deficiencies of counterfeits often manifest as:

- Inferior rods that are flexible and break easily under pressure.
- Extensive windings that make sufficient tightening for bleeding control difficult or impossible.

Warning: Incorrect application or the use of a counterfeit can have serious consequences, including death.

The Combat Application Tourniquet® in Occupational First Aid

In the field of occupational safety, the use of tourniquets is becoming increasingly important. The DGUV points out: “According to current research, there is evidence from the ERC that the use of tourniquet systems may be sensible in severe injuries with significant blood loss. If a company decides to introduce tourniquet systems due to the special hazard situation [from the perspective of occupational safety] into occupational first aid, the application must be instructed and practiced regularly.” (Source: DGUV – Department of First Aid / May 2017). Equip your company with the proven original.
