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 C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. As such, it's the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army

Improved parts include a reinforced windlass, stabilization plate, windlass clip and writeable windlass security strap.
