ChitoGauze XR PRO Hemostatic Gauze Z-Fold Vacuum Packed

Basically, this gauze has 2 main important differences from Standard Military QuikClot:

1) It uses artificial clotting powder to clot, and not your own blood. This is good if you or your patient takes blood thinners or has a problem with blood clotting on its own.

2) This gauze is a little easier to remove surgically.

ChitoGauze® XR PRO, a revolutionary hemostatic dressing for the external, temporary control of severely bleeding wounds. It is the next generation of chitosan dressing that is composed of a polyester/rayon blend non-woven medical gauze that is coated with chitosan. Featuring an embedded x-ray detectable strip, it is Z-folded and packaged in a vacuum sealed pouch that is compact and rugged.

ChitoGauze® XR PRO maximizes hemostatic performance and reduces the risk of re-bleeding by providing effective hemostasis outside of the normal clotting cascade. ChitoGauze® XR PRO also has natural antibacterial properties against a wide range of gram positive and gram negative microorganisms which are beneficial in presence of debris and environment before the injured are treated with antibiotics or are transferred to a medical treatment facility. Designed for the battlefield, ChitoGauze® XR PRO is an efficacious and easy-to-apply dressing that maximizes hemostatic performance before severe bleeding turns deadly.
