This CAT-type (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research.

This tourniquet utilizes a durable metal windlass system 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. [I prefer the orange tourniquet since it is hard to miss when it is time to take it off].  Includes black permanent marker pen to write the time of application on the tourniquet (important for EMS/ER/ED to know).  Item may be orange or black.
