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 CAT’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 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.

"Great quality an easy to use. It’s made to last."
"I’ve been trading out all my tourniquets to Refuge Medicals CAT GEN 7’s. The difference between these and what I had is incredible!!"
"I remember when I was glad to have one. Now I’m adding more & more to my supply, and giving them as gifts. When you realize how important a real tourniquet is, it’s an easy cost/benefit analysis decision."
"Great piece of equipment. Cheap knock offs are not the same. Buy proper gear."
"Thanks again for the outstanding service and the great gear, as always!!"
"Great Product, even BETTER Service. A+++++"
"What can I say this is the standard of tourniquets period! Hit Refudge up and buy some today!"
"Refuge is the best. Thank you for your wonderful life saving products"
"These TQs are great! Very brightly colored which makes them easier to see. Ordered a bunch of them and they all came wrapped ready to be staged"
"We’ve started purchasing extra of the CAT Gen7 TQs from RM as a giveaway to our local LEO’s in our area. I encourage others to do the same. You should see the look on an officers face when a random stranger greets them and hands them a quality life saving device and says “Thank you for answering the call, I hope you never need it, but when you do it’s quality”. Priceless! We keep RM trauma kits & TQs in all 3 vehicles."
