Cat Resources is an American manufacturer of tourniquets for use in combat or crisis situations. C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®) tourniquets completely stop blood flow in traumatic injuries with severe bleeding, even by using one hand only. C-A-T® tourniquets are highly effective, their use is though easy even for people without medical education. C-A-T® tourniquets save lives, that is also evidenced by statistics of the US armed forces, which introduced C-A-T® tourniquets for one-handed use in 2005. Since then, the mortality of soldiers in the field due to bleeding has fallen by 85%. C-A-T® tourniquets are appreciated not only by soldiers or paramedics, they also find their application as a means of first aid for climbers, extreme sportsmen or as a supplement to a first aid kit in the event of an accident.
