Combat application tourniquet (CAT)
When applying the Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT), it should be tightened until the bleeding stops, typically requiring you to turn the windlass rod until the blood flow is controlled. You should not loosen the tourniquet once it is applied; doing so can lead to renewed bleeding. The CAT is designed for single-use, and if bleeding persists, a second tourniquet can be applied above the first. Always monitor the casualty for signs of shock and seek immediate medical assistance.
