Review & Description
This z-folded hemostatic chitosan impregnated gauze dressing was designed specifically for the battlefield to quickly control severe hemorrhaging and save lives. Like Celox Gauze, it requires minimal training and entails no risk of remote clotting. It offers the advantage of being flat z-folded for smaller displacement. A uniquely formulated dressing, Chitogauze is highly flexible and ideal for a variety of applications and wound surfaces. Unlike some other hemostatic gauzes, ChitoGauze offers antibacterial properties against a wide range of microorganisms, and contains no pro-clotting agents, providing a safe and localized hemostatic solution. ChitoGauze is a highly flexible dressing which readily conforms to varying wound surfaces to rapidly stop bleeding and seal the wound site. Features/Benefits: Z-folded configuration - Easy handling and rapid application in emergency situations. No delay in identifying where dressing starts. Antibacterial Properties - Effective against a wide range of microorganisms (including MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter Baumannii). Localized solution - Mitigates the risk of emboli formation. No systemic reactions. Safe for use - Contains no pro-clotting agents, Sterile, Latex free. Non-exothermic (non-heat producing) - Will not cause additional tissue damage. Simple application - Minimal training required. Apply pressure until bleeding is controlled. Removal - Easy and atraumatic removal, no debridement necessary. The natural, unique characteristics of chitosan and HemCon's proprietary manufacturing process, together create ChitoGauze which slows the blood movement through the dressing, offering a local hemostatic solution. The chitosan in ChitoGauze binds red blood cells and platelets on the dressing's surface which provides localized clotting independently from the normal clotting cascade. This localized clotting within the ChitoGauze mitigates risk of emboli formation. Read more
