At 4 in. wide versus the standard 3 in., and featuring a double-ply construction, it delivers significantly more hemostatic surface area per inch of wound depth. This makes it particularly valuable for large-cavity wounds — blast injuries with wide wound channels, high-velocity gunshot wounds, traumatic amputations, and scenarios where standard 3 in. gauze packing would require multiple products. Combat Gauze XL carries the same CoTCCC recommendation as the standard variant, uses the same kaolin impregnation (activates Factor XII), and produces no heat during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe packaged footprint is larger than the standard Combat Gauze (6.5 × 6.5 × 0.75 in. vs. 6 × 4 × 0.6 in.) — a consideration when fitting into standard IFAK pouches — but the additional hemostatic capacity is meaningful for penetrating trauma with large wound cavities that would exhaust a standard 3 in. × 4 yd. gauze. Military medics, tactical physicians, and mass casualty response teams often carry one XL alongside standard Combat Gauze to handle a spectrum of wound sizes. The 2-ply construction means the gauze provides dual-layer kaolin contact throughout the wound track, maximizing Factor XII activation surface area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eIn an independent comparative study, large-format hemostatic products (including Combat Gauze XL) demonstrated better outcomes in high-volume hemorrhage models compared to standard-width gauze, attributed to the additional tamponade effect provided by more gauze material in the wound cavity. Combat Gauze XL is packaged in a vacuum-sealed pouch with multiple tear points for rapid access, contains an X-ray detectable strip for post-packing imaging, and shares the 5-year ambient-temperature shelf life of the standard product. For austere environments, mass casualty events, and trauma surgery support, Combat Gauze XL is the definitive large-wound hemostatic solution from the DoD's gauze of choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExpose the wound — cut away clothing if needed — and locate the primary bleeding source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the pouch and remove the XL Z-fold gauze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePress one end of the 2-ply gauze directly to the bleeding source and pack tightly into the wound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eContinue feeding the unfolding gauze deeply into the wound cavity, following all wound tracks and filling all dead space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm, direct manual pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes (5 minutes for suspected arterial injury).

It is composed of a polyester\/rayon blend non-woven medical gauze uniformly coated with Chito+ chitosan — a proprietary formulation engineered for maximum chitosan-blood interaction and optimal wound conformance. The gauze is Z-folded to a compact packaged size and vacuum-sealed in a rugged foil pouch designed for battlefield and austere environment durability. A single embedded radiopaque filament (the \"XR\" designation) allows X-ray detection for imaging verification at definitive care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe Chito+ mechanism operates via electrostatic muco-adhesion — the positively charged chitosan molecules bind directly to the negatively charged membranes of red blood cells, causing aggregation and physical sealing of the wound. This mechanism is entirely independent of the enzymatic coagulation cascade, distinguishing it from kaolin-based hemostatics (QuikClot Combat Gauze) that rely on Factor XII activation. The clinical implication is significant: in patients with impaired clotting cascade function — hypothermic patients, those on anticoagulant therapy, or those with trauma-induced coagulopathy — chitosan-based hemostatics like ChitoGAUZE XR PRO maintain efficacy where kaolin-based products may be less effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eBeyond hemostasis, ChitoGAUZE XR PRO's chitosan coating provides inherent antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria — including the clinically critical organisms MRSA, \u003cem\u003eEnterococcus faecalis\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAcinetobacter baumannii\u003c\/em\u003e. This is particularly relevant in combat wound management, where contamination is common and antibiotic treatment may be delayed. The 48-hour maximum dwell time provides flexibility for prolonged field care scenarios and evacuation timelines. The gauze is removed by gently peeling from the wound surface — the non-shedding design ensures no chitosan fragments remain in the wound. ChitoGAUZE XR PRO is FDA-cleared for external, temporary control of severely bleeding wounds and is gamma-irradiated for sterility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIdentify and expose the source of bleeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the vacuum-sealed pouch and remove the Z-fold gauze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlace the dressing directly on the source of bleeding and apply direct digital pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePack completely into the wound track, ensuring contact with all bleeding surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm, sustained pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes.

Standard hemostatic gauze packing requires accessing the wound cavity with fingers, which is impossible in narrow-channel penetrating wounds. The Celox-A applicator is a pre-filled, syringe-style device that delivers 6 grams of Celox chitosan granules through a narrow tube inserted directly into the wound, reaching the bleeding source without wound enlargement or digital exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eCelox chitosan works via a mechanism independent of the body's clotting cascade — a critical advantage over kaolin-based products (QuikClot Combat Gauze) in patients with hypothermia-induced coagulopathy, anticoagulant therapy, or trauma-related consumptive coagulopathy. When Celox chitosan contacts blood, it undergoes electrostatic interaction with red blood cell membranes (muco-adhesion), causing them to aggregate and form a robust gel-plug directly at the bleeding site. This mechanism functions even in the presence of heparin, warfarin, and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and continues to work at reduced core temperatures where the coagulation enzyme cascade slows significantly. Celox-A has been tested on the battlefield and validated in clinical settings for efficacy in moderate-to-severe bleeding from penetrating trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe applicator design is instinctive: remove the end cap, insert the tube into the wound to reach the bleeding source, depress the plunger to deliver granules, then withdraw the tube while maintaining the granules in position. Follow with firm manual pressure (a minimum of 5 minutes for severe arterial wounds) through gauze placed over the wound surface. The filled wound should then be covered with additional gauze and a pressure bandage. Unlike gauze packing, the granule format naturally conforms to irregular wound geometries. The 4-year shelf life (compared to 5 years for Celox gauze products) and ambient-temperature storage make Celox-A suitable for IFAKs, pocket kits, and tactical medical bags. Note: Blue cap contains phthalates — handle accordingly per institutional guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Use --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the packaging and remove the Celox-A applicator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRemove the end cap from the top of the applicator tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInsert the applicator nozzle into the wound, guiding it gently to reach the bleeding source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDepress the plunger to deliver the Celox granules directly to the bleeding point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWithdraw the applicator tube while maintaining granule placement in the wound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCover the wound with gauze, filling above skin level, and apply firm direct pressure for at least 5 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIf bleeding persists, apply additional direct pressure for another 5 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSecure with a pressure bandage and monitor for re-bleeding during transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIrrigate with saline at definitive care to remove granules; do not leave in wound beyond 24 hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Comparison Context --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eCelox-A vs. Gauze-Based Hemostatics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eWhere CoTCCC-recommended \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tactical-medicine.com\/products\/quickclot-combat-gauze-hemostatic-dressing\" style=\"color:#9c8f61;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eQuikClot Combat Gauze\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tactical-medicine.com\/products\/celox-rapid-hemostatic-wound-packing-gauze\" style=\"color:#9c8f61;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eCelox Rapid Gauze\u003c\/a\u003e excel for accessible wounds requiring tight packing, the Celox-A applicator fills a unique niche: narrow-channel, deep penetrating wounds.

It contains the proven Celox chitosan granule formulation — microscopic chitosan flakes compressed over a large surface area — coated onto both sides of a non-woven gauze base. When applied to a bleeding wound and subjected to pressure, Celox chitosan absorbs blood and forms an adhesive gel that physically seals the wound and stops blood flow. The mechanism is completely independent of the body's clotting cascade, making it effective regardless of the patient's coagulation status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eIn a landmark U.S. military-sponsored comparative study, Celox Gauze (10 ft.) achieved the lowest overall blood loss, the highest survival rate, and the highest overall hemostasis of all products tested. At 30 minutes post-application, Celox Gauze recorded a significantly shorter time to clot compared with standard gauze and Combat Gauze (p \u0026lt; 0.05). Post-treatment blood loss was lowest for Celox Gauze (110 mL) versus standard gauze (120 mL) and Combat Gauze. These results contributed to the 2014 TCCC Guideline Change 13-05, which added Celox Gauze and ChitoGauze as CoTCCC-recommended alternatives to Combat Gauze, particularly for patients where anticoagulation or hypothermia may impair the clotting cascade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe 10 ft. length is the extended format — longer than the standard Celox 5 ft. and significantly longer than Celox RAPID at 5 ft. — providing ample material for large wounds, multiple wound packing, or training applications where gauze consumption is high. The Z-fold configuration reduces the packaged cube size to 6.75 × 4.25 × 0.75 in. despite the extended length, and allows deployment with one hand. The sterile, waterproof foil packaging maintains a 5-year shelf life at ambient temperature. Celox chitosan does not generate heat, does not contain animal or human proteins (purified from shellfish chitin), and requires no scissors for application — the gauze tears to length in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIdentify catastrophic external hemorrhage and expose the wound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the sterile foil pouch and remove the Z-fold gauze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTake one end of the gauze and pack tightly and directly onto the bleeding source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eContinue packing the unfolding gauze into the wound until the cavity is filled above skin level, maintaining pressure throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm, constant pressure for \u003cstrong\u003e3 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e.

In a published comparative study, packing time with Celox RAPID was 12.8 seconds in the laboratory setting (vs. 28.3 seconds for Combat Gauze and 30.6 seconds for ChitoGauze). Hemostasis without any compression was achieved in 75% of cases with Celox RAPID vs. 38% with Combat Gauze. After 1 minute of compression, hemostasis rates were 83% (Celox RAPID) vs. 50% (Combat Gauze). Post-treatment blood loss for Celox RAPID (12.8 mL) was significantly reduced compared to Combat Gauze (31.9 mL) and standard gauze (44.7 mL) (p=0.05). Evacuation studies confirmed that Celox RAPID maintained hemostasis during casualty transport with no re-bleeding events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe compact Z-fold format (3 in. × 5 ft. vs. the standard 3 in. × 4 yd. of Combat Gauze) reflects the higher density of the Chito-R material — shorter but denser, with the same effective wound filling capability. The reduced overall length simplifies and accelerates packing, particularly for narrow penetrating wounds. Like all Celox products, CELOX RAPID works independently of the clotting cascade, making it effective in hypothermic patients, patients on anticoagulants, and those with trauma-induced coagulopathy.

The chitosan mechanism in Celox RAPID offers a meaningful advantage over kaolin-dependent products in anticoagulated or hypothermic patients.

It provides accessible, cost-effective hemostatic capability for civilian and public-access contexts — schools, workplaces, gyms, vehicles, and community first aid kits — where the price point of clinical hemostatic agents like QuikClot Combat Gauze, Celox RAPID, or ChitoGAUZE XR PRO may be prohibitive for broad distribution. At roughly a fraction of the cost of military-grade hemostatic dressings, the Dynarex 4 in. × 4 in. allows organizations to equip more locations and more individuals with hemostatic capability than would be possible with premium products alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe chitosan mechanism provides surface wound hemostasis through the same muco-adhesive interaction used by Celox, ChitoGAUZE, and ChitoSAM products — positively charged chitosan binds to negatively charged red blood cell membranes, promoting local aggregation and clot formation. The 4 in. × 4 in. pad format is designed for surface coverage applications, not deep wound packing. It is appropriate for lacerations, minor to moderate bleeding wounds, and surface hemorrhage management in first aid contexts. It is not designed for, and should not be used in lieu of, wound packing with a full-length hemostatic gauze for arterial or severe penetrating trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eFor organizations building layered bleeding control programs — placing initial responder-accessible kits throughout a facility while reserving higher-capability products for trained personnel — the Dynarex 4 in. × 4 in. provides a practical entry-level hemostatic for bystander and first responder use. It serves as a lower-cost alternative to QuikClot dressings (as noted in the product's own description) for situations where premium hemostatic gauze is not required or not justified by budget constraints. For critical or severe traumatic hemorrhage, users should be escalated to CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic agents and trained responders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExpose the wound and apply the 4 in. × 4 in. pad directly over the bleeding site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm, direct manual pressure through the pad for 3–5 minutes without lifting to check.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSecure with a bandage or tape to maintain pressure and keep the pad in contact with the wound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIf bleeding soaks through, apply additional pads on top — do not remove the first pad, as this can disturb the forming clot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFor serious injuries, call 911 immediately and continue pressure until professional care arrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRemove at definitive care or when wound is cleaned and closed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Comparison Context --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eWhen to Choose a Clinical-Grade Hemostatic Instead\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eFor serious, life-threatening hemorrhage — arterial bleeding, gunshot wounds, deep penetrating trauma, junctional wounds — the Dynarex 4 in. × 4 in. pad should be replaced with a full-length hemostatic gauze from MED-TAC's clinical product line.

Z-fold format used across the ChitoGAUZE product family. The designation \"XR2\" indicates \u003cem\u003etwo\u003c\/em\u003e radiopaque threads embedded in the gauze, providing enhanced imaging reliability compared to the single-strip XR PRO version. The dual strips ensure that surgical teams can identify all gauze material in a wound cavity on X-ray, an important safety feature for packed wounds receiving surgical care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe Chito+ technology coating provides a robust, uniformly applied chitosan layer on both sides of the polyester\/rayon blend non-woven medical gauze. The positively charged chitosan interacts with the negatively charged membranes of red blood cells — an electrostatic muco-adhesion mechanism that is independent of the body's clotting cascade. This means ChitoGAUZE XR2 PRO maintains hemostatic efficacy in hypothermic patients, anticoagulated patients, and those with trauma-induced coagulopathy where Factor XII-dependent pathways (activated by kaolin in QuikClot) may be impaired. ChitoGAUZE XR2 PRO was added to the CoTCCC recommendations in the 2014 TCCC Guideline Change 13-05, alongside Celox Gauze, as a recommended alternative to QuikClot Combat Gauze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eA clinically important additional benefit is ChitoGAUZE XR2 PRO's antimicrobial properties. The chitosan coating demonstrates activity against a broad spectrum of 26 bacterial organisms — including methicillin-resistant \u003cem\u003eStaphylococcus aureus\u003c\/em\u003e (MRSA), \u003cem\u003eEnterococcus faecalis\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAcinetobacter baumannii\u003c\/em\u003e — organisms commonly encountered in combat and trauma wound environments before antibiotic treatment begins or transfer to a medical treatment facility is complete. ChitoGAUZE XR2 PRO can remain in place for up to 48 hours, longer than most hemostatic gauze dressings, and is removed by peeling gently from the wound without irrigation required (the non-shedding chitosan coating prevents residual material in the wound). The gauze conforms to complex wound geometries, filling irregular surfaces and penetrating wound tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIdentify and expose the source of bleeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the vacuum-sealed pouch and remove the Z-fold gauze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCover the source of bleeding with the dressing; apply direct digital pressure to the source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePack the dressing completely into the wound track, ensuring contact with all bleeding surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes (longer for arterial wounds).

At 1 inch wide, it threads directly into narrow wound tracks created by handgun rounds, rifle fragments, and blade injuries — wounds where a 3 in. gauze strip cannot be efficiently inserted without force. The 1 in. format feeds more precisely into a narrow wound channel, making it easier to achieve contact with the actual bleeding source, which is the critical variable for hemostasis. Once in contact with blood, the Chito-R bioadhesive activates, forming a gel-plug that adheres to surrounding tissue and maintains hemostasis even during patient movement and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe Rapid Ribbon was developed in direct response to operational feedback from combat medics and trauma responders who noted that packing narrow-entry wounds with standard 3 in. gauze required undesirable force and wound manipulation. The 1 in. × 5 ft. format threads naturally into these wounds while delivering the same Chito-R chemistry as Celox RAPID 3 in. gauze. In independent studies, Celox RAPID (from which the Ribbon derives its formulation) achieved hemostasis without compression in 75% of cases compared to 38% for Combat Gauze, and required only 60 seconds of compression vs. 3 minutes for current-generation hemostatic gauze — representing the fastest compression time available for any marketed hemostatic gauze at the time of publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe packaged footprint of the Rapid Ribbon (3.5 × 5.25 × 0.5 in., 1 oz) makes it exceptionally compact for everyday carry, uniform pocket storage, and vest-integrated medical pouches. The ribbon can be cut or torn to the required length for partial wound applications. Available in MARCH Red packaging for TCCC-organized medical kits and Tactical Dark Green for operational low-profile carry. Shelf life is 5 years from manufacture with no special storage requirements — consistent with other Celox gauze products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExpose the wound and identify the narrow-entry wound track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the pouch and unpack the 1 in. ribbon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInsert one end of the ribbon into the wound track and guide it to the bleeding source, feeding in the gauze as it unfolds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePack tightly into the wound, ensuring the ribbon makes contact with the bleeding site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm direct pressure for 60 seconds.

At 7.6 cm × 300 cm (approximately 3 in. × 10 ft.), it provides the full-length gauze format required for deep penetrating wounds, wound tunnels, and junctional hemorrhage sites where a surface patch cannot reach the bleeding source. The Z-fold configuration reduces the packaged footprint (160 × 140 × 10 mm) for IFAK and combat vest carry while preserving rapid deployment capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe PBT® mechanism is charge-based: protonated chitosan carries a strong positive charge that binds electrostatically to the negatively charged membranes of red blood cells and wound tissue. This creates a rapid, firm muco-adhesive bond that physically seals the bleeding site — forming a mechanical barrier to blood flow within one minute of application with constant pressure. The mechanism is independent of the coagulation cascade, making it effective in hypothermic patients, those on anticoagulants, and patients with coagulopathy. The gauze is flexible, allowing it to be packed into deep wounds with complex geometries, reaching bleeding surfaces that are inaccessible to surface patches. Absorbency is at least 15 times its weight in blood, with moisture content not exceeding 35%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eAxiostat MIL-300 (the non-Z-fold rolled version) and MIL-300-Z share the same chemistry and NSN codification. The Z-fold packaging specifically reduces the packaged cube size for individual operator carry compared to the rolled format. Axiostat products are deployed by military and special forces in over 50 countries. The 5-year shelf life, rugged camouflage packaging (camouflaged foil for operational low-profile), gamma sterilization, and non-leachable removal make MIL-300-Z a strong choice for individual first line of defense (FLOD) trauma kits, special operations medical bags, and vehicle-based trauma kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRemove excess blood; identify and expose the bleeding source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the Axiostat package and remove the Z-fold gauze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePack the wound tightly with the Axiostat gauze, feeding it to the bleeding source and filling the wound track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply continuous pressure for at least 3 minutes until bleeding stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDo not remove or lift the gauze to check hemostasis — maintain pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUse a secondary dressing over the Axiostat to secure it and prevent contamination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAt definitive care: irrigate with saline, gently remove.

The product uses Axiobio's patented PBT® (Protonated Bioadhesive Technology), a charge-based mechanism where protonated chitosan forms a strong muco-adhesive bond with negatively charged blood cells and wound tissue surfaces. When applied to a bleeding wound with pressure until the patch adheres to the wound, PBT® creates a mechanical barrier that stops moderate-to-severe bleeding regardless of the patient's clotting cascade status. The patch is active on all sides — a crucial design feature for deep or three-dimensional wounds where single-sided patches are ineffective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eAxiostat's L88 patch holds USFDA 510(k) clearance (K202830) and has received NSN codification (6510-72-057-0464), reflecting its acceptance for military procurement. The product is deployed by military and special operations forces in over 50 countries and has been proven effective in diverse combat environments. The 5-year shelf life at ambient temperature, rugged vacuum-sealed camouflage packaging, and 8 cm × 8 cm format make it ideal for individual operator kits, vest pouches, and squad-level medical equipment. The patch weighs approximately 35g in its sealed package (160 mm × 140 mm × 10 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eUnlike granule-based hemostatics (Celox-A) or gauze-based products (QuikClot, Celox Rapid, ChitoGAUZE), the patch format is particularly effective for surface-accessible wounds where coverage is more important than deep packing — including large surface wounds, lacerations, and axillary or junctional wounds where a conforming pad provides better coverage than a rolled gauze. The patch can be cut, folded, and stuffed into deeper wounds if needed. After hemostasis is achieved, the patch is removed painlessly by irrigating with saline or water and gently peeling. Axiostat leaves no powder or granule residue — completely non-leachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTear open the Axiostat package and remove the patch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply the patch directly to the wound with firm pressure until the patch adheres to the wound surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOnce applied, do not lift or remove — not even to check hemostasis.

The OTC version is indicated for the local management of minor bleeding — minor lacerations, cuts, and abrasions — making it appropriate for household first aid kits, outdoor recreation, sporting events, school nurse offices, vehicles, and public-access bleeding control stations. Unlike Rx-labeled PRO version, the OTC version does not require a prescription and is accessible to any consumer without medical training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe underlying technology is identical to the PRO version: medical-grade chitosan dry powder delivered as a pressurized aerosol that, upon contact with blood, forms a rapid physical barrier to stop bleeding. The chitosan mechanism (direct red blood cell adhesion) is independent of the clotting cascade, meaning it works in patients on blood thinners and in cold conditions. The barrier begins forming within approximately 30 seconds of application. The cold propellant provides mild vasoconstriction on contact, providing an additional physiological mechanism to reduce blood flow at the wound site. SEAL does not generate heat, does not cause systemic clotting, and is removed easily with saline or sterile water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe 1.5 oz OTC can is the most compact and portable SEAL format — easily stored in a small first aid kit, glove compartment, day pack, or purse. The \"shake, point, spray\" deployment requires zero training, making it accessible to bystanders and non-medical personnel responding to a bleeding emergency before EMS arrival. At 2.5 years shelf life without refrigeration, it provides a reasonable service life for consumer kits with periodic rotation. The OTC version represents an important step in democratizing access to effective hemostatic technology — moving beyond the traditional gauze-and-pressure approach to a single-handed, no-excavation first response tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Use --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eShake the can well before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHold can 6–10 inches from the wound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSpray directly onto the bleeding area for approximately 5 seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply gentle direct pressure over the sprayed surface while the chitosan barrier forms (approximately 30 seconds).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply a bandage or dressing to maintain pressure and protect the barrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRemove with water or saline rinse when bleeding has stopped and wound care is complete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFor serious injuries, call 911 — SEAL OTC is first aid for minor wounds; it does not replace professional emergency care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Comparison: OTC vs. PRO --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eOTC vs. PRO: Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe OTC and PRO versions contain the same chitosan aerosol formulation.

BC3 Technologies, founded in Baltimore in 2018, spent approximately 12 years developing the aerosol chitosan delivery platform before achieving FDA 510(k) clearance in 2023, with a U.S. patent awarded for the formulation and delivery system in April 2025. The PRO version carries a Prescription (Rx) label intended for EMS, hospital, tactical medical, law enforcement, and fire department use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eThe mechanism is chitosan-based — the same class of hemostatic agent as Celox and ChitoGauze — but delivered as a dry-powder aerosol. When SEAL contacts blood at the wound site, the chitosan particles interact with red blood cell membranes via electrostatic muco-adhesion, forming a physical barrier that rapidly seals the wound. The cold propellant in the pressurized can also acts as a mild vasoconstrictor on contact, providing an additional mechanism to slow blood flow during the initial application. The full can empties in under 5 seconds when sprayed; the hemostatic barrier begins forming within approximately 30 seconds of application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eCritically, SEAL is \u003cstrong\u003eblood-activated only\u003c\/strong\u003e — it does not react with water, rain, or sweat. This means it maintains reliable performance in maritime operations, wet environments, rain, and situations where the casualty has been immersed. The spray has been validated under MIL-STD-810H environmental testing, maintaining reliable spray performance from –24°F to 160°F. In the rat liver model used for FDA clearance testing, SEAL showed biological safety and was assessed as an efficient hemostatic product with non-inferiority to Celox (its predicate device). It does not generate heat, does not cause systemic clot formation (reacts locally at the wound site only), and does not trigger shellfish allergies (allergens are removed during chitosan purification).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eSEAL PRO excels in scenarios where traditional wound packing is difficult or time-consuming: irregular wounds, shrapnel injuries, graze wounds, neck wounds (where packing is contraindicated), multiple simultaneous casualties, and wounds that are difficult to access or pack under fire. It is particularly valuable as an initial intervention — spray to establish a physical barrier, apply pressure, then proceed with standard TCCC hemorrhage control protocols.

The result is a 100% pure chitosan non-woven fabric where every fiber, every surface, and every layer is chitosan. There is no substrate to separate from the active agent, no coating to wash off, and no non-hemostatic matrix diluting the chitosan contact area. This maximizes the chitosan-to-wound-surface contact ratio and potentially enhances hemostatic efficacy in the critical seconds after application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eLike all chitosan hemostatics, ChitoSAM 100 works independently of the body's clotting cascade. The positively charged chitosan fibers interact directly with the negatively charged red blood cell membranes, causing rapid aggregation and forming a physical hemostatic plug. This mechanism functions in hypothermic patients, anticoagulated patients (heparin, warfarin, DOACs), and those with trauma-induced coagulopathy — making ChitoSAM 100 a versatile option across diverse patient presentations. Bleeding control is typically achieved within minutes of application with appropriate pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 32px;font-size:15px;\"\u003eA distinctive product feature is SAM Medical's \u003cstrong\u003eTear Anywhere packaging\u003c\/strong\u003e — the waterproof sterile pouch can be torn open along any edge, improving single-hand access under stress and in low-light conditions where finding a specific tear notch can be difficult. The 3 in. × 6 ft. Z-fold format (CT100-C-EN) provides extended-length packing capability — longer than the standard 3 in. × 4 ft. (CT100-B-EN) — for larger wound cavities. SAM Medical is based in Portland, Oregon, the manufacturer of the SAM XT Extremity Tourniquet, bringing the same commitment to high-performance, clinician-designed medical devices to the hemostatic gauze market. The gauze is removed from wounds with water or saline solution, leaving no residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- How to Apply --\u003e\n  \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;margin:0 0 12px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003col style=\"margin:0 0 32px;padding-left:1.4em;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExpose the wound and identify the bleeding source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOpen the Tear Anywhere packaging — tear on any edge for rapid access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRemove the Z-fold ChitoSAM 100 gauze and apply one end directly to the bleeding source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePack tightly into the wound, feeding in the gauze while maintaining pressure at the source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApply firm, continuous direct pressure for 3–5 minutes or until bleeding stops.
