The C-A-T® is a small and lightweight (59 grams) one-handed tourniquet that completely occludes arterial blood flow in an extremity.

The C-A-T® uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities, combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place; this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip™. The C-A-T® also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap™ for further securing of the windlass during patient transport.
