Stop any life-threatening hemorrhage with a combat application tourniquet (CAT) or hemostatic dressing, if applicable.
Apply the tourniquet band above the bleeding wound.
Adjust the friction adaptor buckle until the combat application tourniquet(C-A-T) is securely in place.

For nonextremity wounds, the use of direct pressure with a hemostatic dressing is appropriate to control life-threatening hemorrhage. Severe bleeding may occur with neck, axillary, or groin injuries. For these injuries, it may not be possible to effectively apply a tourniquet. Use of direct pressure and a hemostatic dressing may be required.
