The CAT 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 CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. 

The CAT utilizes a durable windlass system with a 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 strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The CAT’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.

How do you put a price on your life?

Quality product that delivers. Seems sturdy but I'm not bleeding out at the moment. These are the industry benchmark product. You ask yourself is their really thirty dollars per unit value there? Is there really that high of production cost. I know the manufacturer reply that going cheaper could cost your life and fail. I would say that if your heart is into saving peoples lives in traumatic situations why not cut costs to ensure its available to more people and not going with cheaper alternatives. Solid simple product and would probably buy more, just concerned on the profit margins this product is justifying..

Only the best

NAR is the leader in combat application tourniquet, often copied but never matched. A little pricey, but your life should be worth it. Learn how to use these and keep several available. Excellent construction, easy to use under duress, (if you practiced) and can save a life.

The real deal

After reading about the other knock offs breaking I decided my life was worth spending the extra money. I need to get more but that can come in time. I hope I never have to use these. I have not tested them yet but because they are the real deal I expect them to do the job.
