What is different between this device and an actual CAT that makes it a training device only?

I don't believe there is any difference. I can pass on what was told to me in various courses. "The idea behind the different color is so you don't constantly use ones in training that will be used in actual emergencies." The concern is that one used in training over and over may be stressed and may not actually hold up as well when needed ( plastic buckel and Velcro). The colors do have meaning though. Black= tactical, red/orange= Fire/rescue, blue= training.

I have a Gen 4 Cat tourniquet. Is it ok to train with this trainer?

Hi if you are teaching different groups then i would suggest getting the gen 7 has these are the ones in current use

I know it is says the blue is for training but can I use this as a field TQ and not for training ???

Yes, the Blue CAT is fine to use in the field...This fully functioning Gen 7 C-A-T® tourniquet is colored blue to identify it as a training device enabling instructors and trainees hands-on training & tourniquet application practice with a distinct visual means to distinguish training devices from personal/operational life-saving devices.

The list description states gen 7, but the picture shows and older version. is this an actual gen 7 cat? thanks.

Yes all the CAT tourniquets we stock are 2016 GEN 7, its just difficult to get good up to date imagery
