The CAT GEN7 has been re-designed, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet® to date. The new CAT GEN7 is simpler to use thanks to a single application protocol, single buckle routing system and further improvements to its components and construction.The Single Routing Buckle is a direct response to in-depth reviews of field and testing reports.
