Genuine NAR Combat Application Tourniquet, Gen 7
The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) Gen 7 from North American Rescue is a windlass tourniquet designed to stop life-threatening bleeding from an arm or leg.
The C-A-T is one of the most widely used tourniquet designs, and the Gen 7 version simplifies the routing so the strap goes through the buckle only once. The time strap gives a place to write when it was applied, which matters to the medical team who takes over.
Anyone building a home, vehicle or range first aid kit who is willing to learn how to apply it.
A tourniquet is only useful if you know how to use it. Get hands-on training (a Stop the Bleed class is a good start) before you rely on one. Buy from authorized sellers to avoid counterfeits.
Severe bleeding can become fatal before help arrives. A tourniquet, gauze and gloves are a small, high-value addition to every kit.
Training matters more than gear here. A few hours of hands-on practice, refreshed every year or two, makes the kit useful. Keep it where it can be reached fast, tell your family where it is, and replace anything that gets used or opened.
