Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A Velcro strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The CAT-Tourniquet’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised. The CAT-Tourniquet was named the Best Prehospital Tourniquet in the February 2008 Supplement of The Journal of Trauma. It is also approved by the National Tactical Offices Association (NTOA) for tactical medics and law enforcement officers.
