Product Overview

The NAR S-Rolled Gauze bridges the gap between a simple compressed gauze roll and a specialized wound packing gauze. The distinctive S-roll configuration inside the dispenser package allows the user to pull gauze from the package in a controlled, continuous feed — either as a complete unit or as a linear strip for wound packing — while the remaining gauze stays inside the dispenser, protected from contamination during application. This design is functionally superior to a standard roll for active wound packing, where maintaining sterility of unused gauze material during a high-stress procedure is practically challenging.

Constructed from premium 6-ply 100% cotton, the S-Rolled Gauze offers the same absorption properties as the NAR Compressed Gauze but adds the ergonomic advantage of the dispenser format. The 4.5 in. width accommodates a range of wound profiles, from narrow penetrating wounds to broader surface lacerations. The full 4.1-yard length provides sufficient material for thorough cavity packing in even large extremity wounds. At 1.2 oz in a 3 in. × 2 in. × 1 in. vacuum-sealed package, its mass and footprint are identical to the NAR Compressed Gauze, making it a direct upgrade for kits where controlled application is prioritized.

Beyond wound packing, S-Rolled Gauze works effectively as backing gauze for hemostatic agents including Combat Gauze and other chitosan or kaolin-impregnated products. It can also be used for conventional wound bandaging, splint securing, and any other application requiring an elastic conforming bandage layer. The vacuum-sealed packaging with NAR's Red-Tip Technology tear notches enables rapid one-handed opening under stress — a non-trivial feature during active hemorrhage management.

Complete your bleeding control configuration with pressure bandages from the Bandages & Dressings collection or upgrade to hemostatic-impregnated options from the Hemostatic Agents collection. See the full Massive Hemorrhage Control lineup.
