QuikClot Z-Fold Vacuum Packed Combat Gauze

Description:

Combat Gauze® stops arterial and venous bleeding in seconds. Fast-acting Combat Gauze® from North American Rescue is the ultimate wound care dressing. This hemostatic dressing combines surgical gauze with a proprietary inorganic material to deliver three important benefits: it stops blood flow, it’s inert, and it’s non-allergenic. The material, pliable and familiar to medical personnel, can be fitted to any size or shape wound (including penetrating wounds). Plus, it is easily removed once clotting has taken place. Combat Gauze® comes in rolls four yards long by three inches wide. The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care recently recommended Combat Gauze™ as the first-line hemostatic product.
