WERO is the exclusive importer for Germany and Austria CAT® Tourniquet: Quality that counts - the original! The Combat Application Tourniquet® or simply CAT® is a one-hand tourniquet system for rapid haemostasis in the event of life-threatening bleeding to the extremities. What are the advantages of a CAT® tourniquet? An individually adjustable strap allows the tourniquet to be applied to most extremitiesA robust, ergonomic toggle facilitates gripping and turning The wind system (strap with toggle) tensions a freely movable inner band to prevent the inflow of arterial blood into the extremity Only one handle is required to secure the toggle under a clamping hook During transport, the Velcro fastener of the CAT® provides additional security How do I use a tourniquet? The CAT® tourniquet is an essential component of tactical casualty care. It is used during major incidents, such as terrorist attacks, and as a first measure in the event of life-threatening haemorrhaging. The use of a tourniquet should be trained, but the following applies: in an absolute emergency and if all other rescue measures, such as a tourniquet, are unsuccessful, anyone can use a tourniquet. The tourniquet can also be applied with one hand in an emergency. 1. Unfold the CAT® so that the strap forms an O-shaped loop. Then apply the CAT® above the haemorrhage in the direction of the torso. To do this, guide the injured limb through the O-shaped loop of the Velcro strap. 2. Tighten the strap so that no more than two fingertips can fit between the tourniquet and the limb. Then connect the Velcro surfaces firmly together. 3. Now turn the gag until the bleeding stops and the pulse can no longer be felt below the wound site. 4. Secure the gag under the clamping hook. Check the bleeding and pulse again - if necessary, increase the pressure by turning the gag further. 5. Now place the end of the strap over the toggle and clamp hook and secure both with the safety Velcro. Then, if possible, make a note of the time of attachment. How can I recognise a fake? There are many copies of this tourniquet. They may not be able to build up the necessary pressure, become loose or tear. Do not jeopardise the life you are trying to save again. Please make sure you get the original from a reliable source. Visually, the differences between genuine and counterfeit tourniquets can be slight and are often difficult to recognise. In some cases, however, the following clues indicate a replica: Red tip outside the USA No or inferior instructions for use: These are often not available in German and do not show the most important data and details of a medical device, such as the manufacturer, EC-REP or importer. Qualitative defects in counterfeits are characterised by the following features, for example:Inferior rods that are bendable and break easily under the required pressure A more extensive winding can make it difficult or even impossible to tighten sufficiently to stop bleeding Incorrect use can have serious consequences, including death. Combat Application Tourniquet® in occupational first aid "According to the ERC, current research indicates that the use of tourniquets can be useful for serious injuries with heavy blood loss. If a company has decided to introduce tourniquet systems into the company's first aid programme due to the particular risk situation [in terms of occupational health and safety], the application must be instructed and practised regularly."

The special feature of ChitoSAM® 100 In contrast to conventional haemostatic agents, where a gauze bandage or wound dressing is impregnated with a haemostatic (coagulating) agent or coated , ChitoSAM® 100 consists entirely of chitosan. An additional carrier material is not necessary due to the special processing . As a result, the haemostatic effect is 25% higher than that of classic chitosan products.Active ingredient chitosanChitosan, also known as poliglusam, poly-D-glucosamine or polyglucosamine, is a natural biopolymer from the polysaccharide family that was first obtained in 1859 by boiling chitin with potassium hydroxide solution. Chitosan is also used in cosmetics and industry as well as in medicine not only as a haemostatic agent but also as an absorbable suture material. In contrast to other haemostatic agents (haemostyptics) , chitosan does not activate the body's own blood clotting factors. The haemostatic effect is based on several properties:High absorption capacity: binding of fluids, fats and proteinsFilm-formingConcentration of coagulation factors and blood solids in the wound due to moisture removal/bindingElectrophysiological reaction=cationically charged chitosan also promotes the concentration of anionically charged blood coagulation factors in the wound Chitosan also works reliably at lower blood temperatures or when anticoagulants such as Marcumar or heparin are used. Application of ChitoSAM 100 The ChitoSAM tissue is pressed directly onto the bleeding wound for several minutes. This binds the blood and wound fluid and results in a clot. This is a great advantage for subsequent wound treatment in a rescue centre or hospital, as the gel-like plug can be easily removed. Due to the high absorption capacity of the active ingredient, care must be taken to ensure that the dressing material does not come into contact with the eyes in the event of head injuries. ChitoSAM 100 is atoxic, anti-allergenic, 100% biodegradable and can therefore be used without hesitation.
