Our Thoughts
Every firearm should be paired with medical equipment.
If you're carrying a rifle or pistol, you should also have the tools to treat the worst-case scenario.
The CAT Tourniquet has earned its reputation because it works.
It has been the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005 and has saved countless lives both on the battlefield and here at home. More importantly, it's one of the few tourniquets that has been extensively tested and proven effective at completely stopping arterial blood flow when properly applied.
The Gen 7 introduced several improvements over earlier versions, including a stronger windlass, faster single-routing buckle, improved stabilization plate, and the easily recognizable Red Tip Technology® that speeds up proper application under stress.
This isn't gear you buy hoping to use.
It's gear you hope you never need—but you'll be incredibly thankful to have if the day ever comes.
Why We Carry CAT Tourniquets
Whether you're at the range, hunting, working, or simply driving down the road, traumatic injuries can happen anywhere.
A quality tourniquet belongs in:
- Range bags
- Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs)
- Vehicle emergency kits
- Hunting packs
- Duty gear
- Home emergency kits
If you own multiple firearms, we strongly recommend owning multiple tourniquets. One should stay with your range gear, and another should remain in your vehicle or everyday emergency kit.
Buy Genuine Medical Equipment
There are countless counterfeit CAT tourniquets sold online that may look similar but fail when they're needed most.
We only sell genuine North American Rescue tourniquets because life-saving equipment isn't the place to cut corners.
