North American Rescue

The North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) Gen 7 is a one-handed field tourniquet designed to control life-threatening extremity bleeding.1 Pacific Biomedical carries it in three colors: Tactical Black (30-0001), Rescue Orange (30-0023) and the blue Trainer (30-0033) for hands-on practice.1 North American Rescue lists the Gen 7 as recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC), and the C-A-T Gen 7 is on the CoTCCC recommended limb tourniquet list.12

Product Highlights:

  • Single routing buckle: for fast application and simpler slack removal.1
  • Windlass clip: locks the windlass from either side.1
  • Free-moving internal band: distributes pressure across the tourniquet width.1
  • Reinforced stabilization plate: minimizes discomfort under the windlass.1
  • Red Tip Technology: an elliptical tab that gives a visual cue and feeds easily through the buckle.1
  • Windlass strap: secures the rod during movement.1
