TacMed Australia is now stocking the COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (C.A.T)- G7. It has all the great features of the Gen 6 C.A.T but has added features including the NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards

COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (CAT) G7

The CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a small and lightweight arterial tourniquet that completely occludes blood flow in an extremity. Used for the treatment of life-threatening bleeding, the C.A.T Tourniquet uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place; this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip. The C.A.T Tourniquet also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap for further securing of the windlass during patient transport.

After years of 4wd'ing and camping around Australia with our mates and family, we finally decided to make a kit suitable for not just our hobby, but for driving to and from work.

We needed a kit that could not only treat our kids when they fall over exploring the bush, but it also had to have the right gear if we are the first on the scene to a serious motorbike accident, pedestrian hit by car or mishap with a chainsaw. 

This kit is the same contents as our ever popular Vehicle Trauma Kit, but instead packed inside our own Tacmed designed vehicle specific trauma bag, which includes ID tags for quick and easy identification of primary components, and the design of the bag facilitates easy visibility of all items.

The contents have been carefully selected by an ex-Army medic & Intensive Care Paramedic so you know it's not just full of cheap "fluffy" first aid items that fill just fill space or add to an item count.

Contents:

• Tacmed vehicle trauma bag with ID tags + Trauma Patch
  
• SOFTT-W Tourniquet
• 4" Emergency Bandage
• 15cm Trauma Shears
• SAM Splint

The Aquatic Trauma Kit (ATK) has been developed using products tried and tested on the battlefields of Iraq & Afghanistan.

Used in the treatment of life-threatening bleeding in an aquatic environment, the Aquatic Trauma Kit can be used as a stand-alone kit or as a supplemental kit to standard first aid kits.

A casualty with major injuries (ie Shark Bite or Boat Propellor Injury) can bleed out in minutes if not treated quickly and effectively. Most conventional first aid kits do not have the appropriate equipment for controlling life-threatening bleeding and this is where the ATK comes in....

The Aquatic Trauma Kit comes complete with a large military style trauma dressing, an arterial tourniquet for life-threatening limb bleeds, an emergency blanket for the prevention of hypothermia and gloves and resuscitation face shield for personal protection.

The ATK is compact, rugged and vacuum sealed to protect the contents from water & sand. A must have for the boat, dive bag or car glove box.
