*CAT Gen7 Tourniquet: The Combat Application Tourniquet®, introduced to U.S. Army in 2005 is a true one-handed tourniquet, widely credited with decreasing mortality rates due to extremity exsanguination by 85%. After an exhaustive study, the U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it to be 100% effective. Following extensive field reviews, the CAT GEN7 has been completely 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.
Product Enhancements:
- NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards
- Reinforced windlass rod with increased diameter for enhanced strength and aggressive ribbing for improved grip
- Bilateral windlass clip for rapid windlass lock and bilateral buttress for added strength
Enhanced windlass strap changed to tactical gray and sonic welded to clip for constant contact providing safe windlass security and a place to document the application time - Reinforced stabilization plate with beveled contact bar
Signature red elliptical tip (Red Tip Technology®) provides visual cue during application
Patented free-moving internal band for true evenly distributed circumferential pressure

**Israeli Bandage: Combat medics, trauma doctors, and emergency responders all recommend this Israeli Battle Dressing (IBD) or Israeli Emergency Bandage for the treatment of gunshot wounds, puncture wounds, deep cuts, and other traumatic hemorrhagic injuries. In fact, this is the same bandage that is included in the U.S. Military's IFAK, or individual first aid kit. This is the large, six-inch bandage, and can be used one-handed for self-treatment or can be applied by a care giver or first responder to help staunch blood flow and stabilize the patient for evacuation or treatment. It can be used on the head, leg, arm, torso, or elsewhere on the body.PerSys Medical Bandage Battle Dressing First Aid Compression Bandage Performance Systems presents an innovative, combat proven first-aid device for the staunching of blood flow from traumatic hemorrhage wounds in pre-hospital emergency situations. This 6" wide, all-in-one device consolidates multiple first-aid devices such as a primary dressing, pressure applicator, secondary dressing, and a foolproof closure apparatus to secure the bandage in place. The product is so easy to use that even an injured person can self-apply the bandage with one hand.
Benefits:
- The Emergency Bandage is designed for quick and easy application by professional and non-professional caregivers to provide effective, multi-functional treatment.
- The Emergency Bandage's sterile, non-adherent pad applies pressure to any site, can be easily wrapped and secured, and has an additional application, similar to a tourniquet, to further constrict blood-flow.
- Can apply 30-40+ lbs of pressure to the wound
- Multi-functional bandage for various wounds
- Compact, lightweight, waterproof, and vacuum-sealed packaging
- Sterile, best-in-class 8-year shelf life
- Integrated pressure bar exerts immediate and direct pressure to the wound
- Built-in closure bar: no pins, no clips, no tape, no hook-and-loop, no knots
- Non-adherent 6″ pad eliminates pain during removal and prevents wound re-opening

***Cel+X Hemostatic Dressing: Time is critical when treating severe injuries in the field and saving time increases the chance of survival for the casualty in an emergency or hostile situation. To be effective in real use, haemostatic dressings need to work fast. The current generation of hemostatic agents need at least 3 minutes of compression to work. Celox RAPID Gauze removes the delay by speeding up packing time and reducing compression time to just 60 seconds while using the proven haemostat technology of Celox. Independent testing on Celox RAPID has shown the product works on lethal injuries and significantly reduces blood loss compared to Quikclot Gauze*. As well as reducing treatment time and blood loss, a model of tactical evacuation showed that the Celox RAPID Gauze stayed in place during transport with no re-bleeding.
Benefits:
- Works with just 60 seconds compression
- Stops severe bleeding – fast
- Rapid action reduces blood loss
- Stops hypothermic bleeding as found in severe traumatic injuries

**** Hyfin Vented Chest Seals: The HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack is a smaller version of the regular Hyfin Vent Twin Pack which gives responders two vented chest seals in a compact packaging for the treatment of penetrating injuries to the chest. Designed with 3-vented channels that allow air to escape the chest cavity during exhalation but prevents air from entering through the injury site during inhalation. Each HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal is 4.75” x 4.75” and made with advanced adhesive to provide a superior adhesion in the most adverse conditions, including sweaty or hairy casualties.
Contained in a rugged, easy-to-open foil pouch, the perforated packaging allows users to open only one dressing at a time as needed.
Benefits:
- 3-channel pressure relief vents
- Two Chest Seals for the treatment of entry/exit or multiple penetrating wounds
- Advanced adhesive gel for superior adhesion, even to sweaty or hairy chests
- Red-Tip Technology single step, peel and apply application that also allows for burping the wound if necessary
