The bandage seems durable. It is small and light, and its workmanship is of a high standard. I feel that it is reliable equipment and it was worth buying it for the first aid kit for the future.

Professional CAT-type tourniquet, used by rescue, police, military, and firefighting services. Designed for effectively stopping hemorrhages from severely damaged limbs or stumps in cases of amputation, when a standard pressure dressing is insufficient.

This product hardly needs any introduction :) The CAT tourniquet is a benchmark among equipment used in rescue operations. It's better to invest in the original, as it could save a life if necessary. It's good to have several, buy some and always keep one with you. Hopefully, you’ll never have to use it.
-
Tested during training and in practice, I always have it with me during training sessions, and I keep a second one in the car – although hopefully I'll never need to use it.
-
I have dealt with this product as part of individual equipment and my overall impression remains cautiously positive. It looks reliable, the construction is straightforward and does not cause any confusion during use. When using it, you can sense the forethought – nothing seems accidental or superfluous. Over time, confidence grows that the item is made for real conditions, not just for show. Overall, this is a practical piece of equipment that is taken seriously and meets basic expectations without exaggeration.
-
There’s no need to elaborate—this is a renowned product of the highest quality. Hopefully you'll never need to use it, but it's certainly better to have it at hand just in case, rather than regret not having it. Even at first contact, you can see how much it differs from cheaper substitutes. Definitely professional equipment.
-
The equipment is professional, and I hope I won't be forced to use it. However, I am convinced that if the need arises, it will fulfill its function perfectly, protecting the most important value, which is life.
-
Let it lie in the backpack, I hope it never has to be used. I tested it dry – works solidly and is carefully made. If you get injured in the field, it could save your life. It's the kind of gear that's simply worth having.
-
Since I bought the CAT tourniquet, I always have it on my vest when visiting the shooting range. It's well made, and the price matches its usefulness.
-
A tourniquet is a basic piece of kit for a shooter, but it’s useful not only for them. Weapon and tourniquet are an inseparable duo – but better if it’s never used. This particular tourniquet is very solid and made from good materials, because it must be reliable. Highly recommended!
-
The tourniquet looks very solid, it's light and compact, and its workmanship makes a great impression. This is equipment you can trust – buying it for an evacuation backpack was a good choice.
-
The tourniquet was bought just in case: better to have it and not use, than to need and not have it at hand. Solidly made, durable and in my opinion should be in every first aid kit – car, home or for outdoor trips.
-
A top-class product you can rely on. If you deal with firearms, you should always have it with you.
-
CAT is definitely still one of the best solutions; very solidly made, from durable material, worth its price – I recommend it.
-
It's hard to say anything new – this is tried and tested, certified life-saving equipment. It's very intuitive to use. Worth getting to know how it works, just like the SOF-T.
-
A very practical and reliable solution. Easy to use, durable, and effectively stops bleeding. Ideal for providing aid in emergencies. Recommended.
