We hope you never need it, but if you're faced with life threatening bleeding far from help and usual dressings aren't enough, haemostatic gauze is a life-saver.
Manufacturer's Description:
The Prometheus ChitoGauze XR Pro heralds a new era in topical wound haemostatic agents. Unlike many conventional dressings, this product seamlessly adapts to diverse wound contours, facilitating effortless packing and swift bleeding control. With its chitosan-enriched design, ChitoGauze XR Pro promises limited particle shedding into wounds, setting it apart from other alternatives.
Chitosan, a natural and biocompatible polysaccharide, augments the gauze's haemostatic efficiency. This enhanced coating interacts optimally with blood to manage bleeding, whilst its unique blend with HemCon's proprietary manufacturing ensures blood movement deceleration through the dressing. Furthermore, it aids clotting at a localised level by binding red blood cells and platelets, acting independently from the traditional clotting cascade. The result? A pioneering dressing that stands unparalleled in wound care and bleeding control.
