CAT-Style Windlass Tourniquet – Gen 7 Compatible

The CAT-Style Windlass Tourniquet (Gen 7 compatible) is a one-handed windlass tourniquet built for rapid control of severe limb bleeding in trauma, workplace and first aid situations. The latest-generation design pairs strong composite materials with a reinforced windlass and wide strap to apply and hold focused circumferential pressure when it matters most. Available in high-visibility orange, black and blue.

Durable emergency construction
Strong composite materials withstand high-tension application under real-world conditions.

Rapid one-handed application
The windlass tightens quickly with one hand, supporting self-application or assisting others in high-stress situations.

Effective windlass compression
A reinforced windlass rod tightens the internal band evenly around the limb to help restrict blood flow.

Secure locking system
Once tensioned, the windlass locks firmly to reduce loosening during movement or transport.

Compact and lightweight
A slim profile stores easily in trauma kits, vehicles, backpacks and IFAKs without adding bulk.

Adjustable limb strap
The wide strap fits a broad range of limb sizes for consistent pressure.

Integrated time label
A write-on label records the application time to support follow-up medical care.

Important: This CAT-style tourniquet is intended for emergency bleeding control by individuals with appropriate training. Incorrect or prolonged use may cause injury. Always seek professional medical assistance after application.
