Trusted by Law Enforcement & Tactical Professionals

The CAT® GEN 7 is the CoTCCC-recommended standard in hemorrhage control—true one-handed application, combat-proven, and trusted by military and first responders worldwide.

Built for Real World Emergencies

🛡 Duty & Tactical Carry

Officers and operators stage the C-A-T® on a duty belt, vest, or IFAK for immediate self-aid or buddy-aid. One-handed application means you can control your own extremity bleed even when injured.
🎯 Range & Training

Gunshot wounds and severe lacerations at the range demand immediate hemorrhage control. Keep one staged in your range bag and one dedicated to training so your live tourniquet stays fresh.
🚗 Vehicle & Everyday Preparedness

Crashes and roadside accidents are the most common place civilians face life-threatening bleeding. A C-A-T® in the glovebox or console puts the proven standard within arm's reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the CAT® GEN 7 different from cheaper tourniquets?

The C-A-T® is the CoTCCC-recommended standard, validated by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research and fielded by the U.S. military. Off-brand copies may look similar but this is the authentic North American Rescue® C-A-T®.

What's new in GEN 7?

Yes — every trauma kit includes the same medical-grade supplies trusted by first responders, law enforcement, and military medics. From CAT® tourniquets to hemostatic gauze and HyFin® chest seals, our gear isn’t imitation-grade — it’s built for real emergencies, where performance matters most.GEN 7 adds a single-routing buckle for faster application, a reinforced windlass rod, a stabilization plate, and a writable time tab. Red Tip Technology™ makes threading intuitive under stress.

Do I need training, and is it HSA/FSA eligible?

Tourniquet application is simple but perishable — Stop the Bleed or equivalent training is strongly recommended. This item is HSA/FSA eligible; use your benefit card at checkout or submit your receipt per your plan administrator.

Do I need training to use trauma components (tourniquet, chest seal, hemostatics)?

Yes—skills plus gear save time in times of crisis. We recommend Stop the Bleed/bleeding-control and basic first aid;

While basic trauma kits can be used effectively with minimal training, it’s highly recommended to complete a bleeding control and first aid course.

Why should I invest in a trauma kit instead of building my own?

Building your own kit is possible, but it’s often more expensive and time-consuming. Our trauma kits are curated by experts and built from experience, using components from industry-leading suppliers or built by U.S. based, trusted brands.

Each kit includes tested, field-proven gear, already organized for real-world use. You save time, eliminate guesswork, and gain peace of mind knowing your kit is mission-ready from day one.

How quickly can my trauma kit ship, and what’s the return policy?

We typically process each order within 1–2 business days, and all kits are backed by our quality guarantee. If your kit arrives damaged or incomplete, we’ll replace it immediately. We stand behind every product we sell because we know when it counts, your gear needs to perform flawlessly.

Can I customize a kit for my department or unit (bulk, POs, tax-exempt)?

Absolutely. We can adjust contents, packaging, and quantities; we support quotes/POs and department procurement. Use the RFQ link for fast scoping aligned to your SOPs and training, or click here.

Good quality products. The free items were also nice. Great med kit for alot of travel situations

Thank you for the 5-star review. We’re glad the med kit and added items delivered value and that it’s serving you well for travel. Stay prepared and safe out there.

The item was as promised. Everything in the kit was high-quality and I’m pleased with that. The only problem I have is I’m not sure it’s worth the cost. I found all of the contents individually for significantly less money. The only thing I didn’t find on my own was the pouch everything came in and that was a perfect fit so I would give it an A plus on quality, but a C on value.

Thank you for the honest feedback. We’re glad the kit quality and pouch met the mark. We understand your point on value, our pricing reflects not only the components, but careful sourcing, organization, and readiness in one dependable setup. We appreciate your support.

Excellent choice for a one-stop, well-stocked trauma bag

This is a great kit if you're looking for a higher-level bag. The individual pieces are good quality and it packs tightly--that's good but it doesn't leave a ton of room if you want to add anything.

Hi Daniel, thanks for highlighting the quality and compact design of our trauma bag. We’re committed to providing reliable, high-level first aid solutions that keep you prepared. We appreciate your support!

Fast Delivery

Fast Delivery. Much nicer kit than I expected.
Well done

Hi Bradley, thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad the kit exceeded your expectations and appreciate your recognition of our fast delivery. At ViTAC, we’re dedicated to providing quality, reliable first aid solutions. Stay prepared!
