Hemorrhage Control in Combat Situations. A true one-handed tourniquet, the C-A-T® completely occludes blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T® uses a windlass system with free-moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once tightened, the windlass is locked in place when bleeding has ceased. A Velcro® strap is then applied to secure windlass during casualty evacuation.
