North American Rescue CAT Gen 7 Training Tourniquet Blue
The North American Rescue CAT Gen 7 Training Tourniquet in Blue is the go-to tool for building the muscle memory and life-saving skills needed to apply the world's most trusted combat tourniquet — without expending your operational gear.
- Color-coded blue design instantly distinguishes trainer from live tourniquet
- Identical construction to the combat CAT Gen 7 for true, realistic practice
- Proven one-handed application tested and validated by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research
- Durable windlass system with patented free-moving internal band for circumferential pressure
- Hook-and-loop windlass retention strap locks windlass securely in place after tightening
- Dual securing system eliminates screws and clips that fail under stress or with reduced fine motor control
Who This Is For
This training tourniquet is ideal for first responders, military personnel, law enforcement officers, EMTs, and everyday civilians enrolled in Stop the Bleed or TCCC courses. If you carry a CAT Gen 7 as part of your IFAK or duty kit, this trainer lets you drill correct application technique repeatedly and confidently — so that when seconds matter, your hands already know what to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this training tourniquet in a real medical emergency?
No. The blue CAT Gen 7 trainer is designed exclusively for practice and instruction. It is not rated or approved for clinical or operational use. Always carry a genuine, unmodified CAT Gen 7 combat tourniquet in your IFAK or first aid kit for real emergencies.
Is this trainer functionally identical to the operational CAT Gen 7?
Yes — the training tourniquet mirrors the size, weight, strap routing, windlass mechanism, and retention system of the operational Gen 7 CAT. This ensures that skills and technique developed during training transfer directly to real-world application without any adjustment period.
How many times can the training tourniquet be applied and reset before it needs to be replaced?
North American Rescue's training tourniquets are built for high-repetition use, making them well suited for classroom instruction and repeated solo drills. While no specific cycle limit is published, inspect the strap, windlass, and hook-and-loop fastener regularly for wear. Replace the trainer if any component shows fraying, cracking, or reduced holding strength to ensure your practice remains realistic and safe.
