Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What tourniquets are in this collection?
The collection holds three tourniquets from three makers: the Kemp USA Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T), the MayDay Combat Situation Tourniquet, and the My Medic RATS Tourniquet (Rapid Application Tourniquet System).
-
Is the RATS the same design as the C-A-T?
No. The C-A-T and the MayDay are windlass-style combat tourniquets; the RATS is a rapid application system that works by stretching and wrapping rather than a windlass rod. All three serve the same purpose — emergency hemorrhage control.
-
What is a tourniquet used for?
Stopping life-threatening bleeding from a limb: the tourniquet is tightened above the wound to cut off arterial blood flow until the casualty reaches surgical care. It is a last-resort, life-saving intervention for severe bleeding that direct pressure cannot control.
-
Who carries tourniquets like these?
Military and law enforcement personnel, EMS and first responders, and trained civilians who carry trauma kits — tourniquets like these are standard in IFAKs and stop-the-bleed kits.
-
Where should a tourniquet be kept?
On the person or in the trauma kit where it can be reached in seconds — in a duty belt pouch, vehicle kit, range bag or workplace bleeding-control station. Training in its use is essential; each design applies differently.
