0 out of 5 stars You are counterfitting
3/5

My mother gave me this back in 2015. I have carried it daily in a bag ever since. It never occurred to me there was a counterfit tourniquet at the time. There is no doubt that this is a By buying directly from North American Rescue, you're guaranteed to get authentic items that could save your life or someone else's life.

A fake/dangerous product
3/5

The tq you are buying should not be bought. It did not work when I used it as training this weekend compared to an actual test. When the material passed through the pass through, it bunched up and could not be adjusted to fit If you're in Florida, you can purchase your Tourniquet from a police supply company like Sheepdog.

The counterfeit TQ is Make sure you purchase products from a reputable supplier
3/5

The tourniquet is counterfeit. It is not made by North American Rescue, and the listing does not specify that fact. This fake TQ will break and fail virtually when you try to use it.
Do not buy it!.

This is fake
3/5

There are no products available on Amazon from North American Rescue! My real CATs will not be needed for practice since I purchased a practice CAT. They are fake cat tourniquets, however, which have a nasty reputation for breaking when they're This is not a good TQ to buy!.

This is NOT a North American Rescue CAT tourniquet and has no UNSPSC code
3/5

I was under the impression this was a North American Rescue Cat tourniquet that I bought online. There is no such thing as this. This item does not have the UNSPSC code on it, which means that it is not a.

I've seen and used better tourniquets, but this is the best I've ever The blood stops clotting in the shortest time and with excellent results thanks to the easiest application process
5/5

I can't justify finding a cheaper option when so many lives depend on it. It is unfortunate, but you pay for quality, and when a device is literally used only to save lives, there is no way to justify finding a cheaper alternative. An extra $20 would be better than someone dying as a result of my cheapness. It's totally worth it, you should try.

A real NAR CAT has been received
5/5

In the first image you can see that the CAT has been shrink wrapped outside, and that NAR Packaging Department has installed the instructions. A picture of the outside of the shrink wrap in the second photo shows the NAR ID label. In the third photo you can see the grey time band that replaces the white time band from There is still a white time band on the blue trainer model as well as the day glow orange model. A new injection-molded and beveled pressure plate with identifying marks can be seen in the fourth photo. Printed labels from previous generations have been replaced by this. On photo 5, we can see the new Gen7 lot number and NSN number, which replace the UPC code and date of manufacture of the previous generations. In addition, you can see the marks caused by sonic welding on the time band and the Marks created during the sonic welding operation comply with NAR specifications. It is incorrect to show a black model in the display photo of the As the photos represent Gen 7, I have posted them here.
