Counterfeit Combat Application Tourniquets (C-A-T)s

hey welcome to another video from skinny medic a while back I did a video on fake cat tourniquets the real cat tourniquets are made by North American rescue the fake ones are made by multiple Chinese companies and I did a video just to educate you guys on when you're looking for tourniquets whether it being at the gun show or wherever surplus market that you're getting real true a North American cat tourniquet so I did a video on that and then North American rescue reached out to me and they want to do a collaboration video so this next video clip I'm going to show you is a collaboration video that we did with North American rescue and they compared what the fake ones compared to their real ones and these guys did a really good job so we're going to show you that video the following video is created to communicate some of the known characteristics that may assist with identifying counterfeit tourniquets currently being sold in North America and through online sources such as eBay and Amazon due to substandard manufacturing and materials that do not meet ISO and FDA regulated quality the counterfeits are known to have failed during critical life-saving treatments number one ensure that the self-adhering band has a red tip and that the lot number has been printed on the back of the band number two confirm that the base plate has been printed with Cee and manufacturer information number three make sure the rod securing strap includes a time stamp that has been pred directly on the material and is not an adhesive label number four determine that the sonic welding is genuine and not a deeply embedded heat weld it is important to recognize that counterfeiting practices are constantly evolving so it is recommended that you purchase your combat application tourniquet directly from north american rescue or their authorized distributors in order to guarantee authenticity if you have any additional questions please contact north american rescue's customer service representatives for assistance at eight eight eight six eight nine six two seven seven or info at in a rescue comm so hope this video helps you never know when you'll be the first responder removing the right gear and the right training you
