Chitosan Hemostatic Gauze & Granules – Rapid Bleeding Control for Severe Trauma
This combined Chitosan Hemostatic Gauze & Granules system provides two powerful solutions for managing moderate to severe external bleeding. Both products utilize purified chitosan—a biocompatible, positively‑charged polysaccharide—to accelerate coagulation by adhering red blood cells and platelets to form a rapid pseudoclot that works independently of normal clotting functions
Hemostatic Gauze Features
-
Non-woven polyester/rayon gauze impregnated with chitosan granules, often Z‑folded and packed in vacuum-sealed pouches for sterile, compact application
-
Inserts into severe lacerations, deep wounds, or junctional zones. Conforms to irregular surfaces and provides a scaffold for blood-cell agglutination.
-
Some variants, such as ChitoGauze XR PRO, include an embedded X-ray detectable strip for imaging compatibility and carry antimicrobial effects to reduce infection risk
-
Effective even in hypothermic or anticoagulated patients; safely removable using saline flushing without damaging wound beds
Granules Features
-
Loose purified chitosan granules designed to be poured directly into irregular or deep wounds. Once in contact with fluids, they swell into a gel that adheres to tissue, forming a clotting barrier under pressure
-
Ideal for puncture wounds, arterial bleeding, open fractures, burns, or trauma involving amputations. Pack granules, apply direct pressure, and bandage securely.
-
Biodegradable, nonallergenic, non-exothermic—safe even in adverse environments or sensitive patients
