Featuring a patented single routing buckle and reinforced windlass system, it enables rapid, one-handed application with visual Red Tip cues and an integrated time strap. Compact and battle-tested, it’s the gold standard for professional-grade hemorrhage control. ## Description Product Description The fastest, safest, most effective prehospital tourniquet! Exceeds the new ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Standard for tourniquets! Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma The patented C-A-T 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 Gen 7 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: Thankfully, I can only review the build quality and usability - Fortunately, I can't comment on how well this works in a real emergency, and I hope it stays that way. I originally purchased these while preparing for an overseas RV trip. I wasn't sure what access we'd have to emergency medical care in more remote areas, so I decided to prepare for worst-case scenarios and add a couple of tourniquets to our emergency gear. What I can say is that these appear to be exactly what I was looking for. The tourniquets I received are genuine Gen 7 CATs, which was important to me when making the purchase. There's a lot of discussion around avoiding questionable knockoffs with medical equipment, so buying from a trusted source was worth the extra peace of mind. What I like: * genuine Gen 7 CAT tourniquet * can be applied one-handed with practice * tightens securely * integrated time strap * compact and easy to store * inspires confidence in the design After receiving them, I spent some time familiarizing myself with their operation and practicing application. With a little practice, I found them straightforward to use, including one-handed application. The windlass tightens down firmly and the design feels well thought out for an emergency situation where simplicity matters. One feature I appreciate is the integrated area for recording application time. It's a small detail, but it's an important part of proper tourniquet use and shows that this is a purpose-built piece of emergency equipment. Thankfully, our trip ended without incident and the tourniquets never left the emergency kit. Since returning home, however, they've found permanent homes in places where serious injuries are more likely to occur. One now lives in my woodworking shop and another stays with my outdoor power equipment. Hopefully they'll never be needed there either, but having them available provides a measure of peace of mind. This isn't the kind of product anyone hopes to truly test. What I can say is that the quality appears excellent, the design is easy to understand, and it gives me confidence that if the worst ever happens, I'll have appropriate equipment available instead of wishing I had planned ahead. 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. ## Features - Nomex - Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army - Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research - Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards - Includes reinforced windlass, stabilization plate, windlass clip and writeable windlass security strap - Featuring NAR's signature Red Tip Technology elliptical tab providing added visual clues during application ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 6,031 Reviews | ## Images ![North American Rescue C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet (Orange) NAR Genuine Gen 7 CAT Military Issued (30-0023) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sM+VWkmjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thankfully, I can only review the build quality and usability *by N***V on June 12, 2026* Fortunately, I can't comment on how well this works in a real emergency, and I hope it stays that way.

It's the "real deal", not a cheap knockoff. Yeah, it's more expensive than many competitors. The quality is there, with a wider belt and a stronger windlass, and, except for the "civilian" bright orange color, it as an issued item to US military medics. Let's hope we never have to use it. ## Frequently Bought Together - North American Rescue C-A-T Combat Application Tourniquet (Orange) NAR Genuine Gen 7 CAT Military Issued (30-0023) - Adventure Medical Kits QuikClot Gauze - Flexible Hemostatic Medical Gauze for Emergency Survival or Disaster Preparedness Kits & More - Stops Bleeding Fast with Kaolin - 3" x 24" - North American Rescue HyFin Vent Chest Seal (Twin Pack) NAR Vented Wound Chest Seals for Trauma, Wounds (10-0037) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/193866974-north-american-rescue-c-a-t-combat-application-tourniquet-orange](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/193866974-north-american-rescue-c-a-t-combat-application-tourniquet-orange) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
