Combat Gauze uses kaolin — an inert clay mineral that activates the clotting cascade without generating heat. There is no thermal injury risk with the current Combat Gauze formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;\"\u003eQ: How long do I hold pressure after packing with Combat Gauze?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eA: A minimum of 3 minutes of continuous, firm direct pressure — 5 minutes for suspected arterial injury.

In anticoagulated patients, impaired coagulation may reduce efficacy. CoTCCC guidelines recognize chitosan-based hemostatics (ChitoGAUZE, CELOX) as preferred alternatives for patients on anticoagulants. For uncontrolled hemorrhage without anticoagulation history, Combat Gauze remains the primary recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;\"\u003eQ: How do I remove Combat Gauze at definitive care?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eA: Combat Gauze should be removed by the surgical team — not in the field.

Both use the same Chito+ chitosan hemostatic technology and carry CoTCCC-recommended status. The key difference is radiopaque detection: XR PRO has one embedded X-ray-visible thread; XR2 PRO has two, providing enhanced imaging confirmation for complex or deep cavity wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;margin:14px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Why would I choose two radiopaque threads over one?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: In deep thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic wounds, dense tissue may obscure a single radiopaque marker on imaging. The second thread provides redundancy, reducing the risk of missing a retained gauze. Forward surgical teams and Level I trauma centers with retained foreign body protocols often mandate dual-strip dressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;margin:14px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Is XR2 PRO CoTCCC-recommended?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: Yes. ChitoGAUZE XR2 PRO carries CoTCCC-recommended status under TCCC Guideline Change 13-05. CoTCCC uses the term \"recommended,\" not \"approved\" or \"certified.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;margin:14px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Can I use XR2 PRO on a patient taking blood thinners?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;\"\u003eA: Yes. The chitosan mechanism is cascade-independent — it does not rely on the coagulation cascade to achieve hemostasis, making it effective in patients on warfarin, heparin, or other anticoagulants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--PPLX_FAQ_END--\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- ===== COMPLIANCE FOOTER ===== --\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:11px;color:#aaa;border-top:1px solid #ddd;padding-top:14px;line-height:1.7;margin-top:16px;\"\u003e\n  ChitoGAUZE XR2 PRO is indicated for external use in the management of severe hemorrhage.

The woven fabric is the structural material; chitosan is the additive. Axiostat is manufactured from 100% chitosan — there is no inert fabric. The gauze material itself is the hemostatic agent throughout its full thickness, delivering higher active chitosan density per packed volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;margin:12px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Is Axiostat Z-Fold CoTCCC-recommended?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: Axiostat is not currently listed as a CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic agent. CoTCCC-recommended products (QuikClot Combat Gauze, ChitoGauze XR Pro, Celox Gauze) have undergone specific U.S. military validation processes. Axiostat is a clinically validated chitosan hemostatic used in surgical and emergency contexts globally, but has not completed that specific CoTCCC pathway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;margin:12px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: How do I use the Z-Fold format for wound packing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: Open the package and locate the first fold of the Z-fold. Using a gloved index finger, begin pressing the gauze into the deepest point of the wound cavity. Feed the gauze progressively as you pack — the accordion fold allows controlled unraveling while you maintain packing pressure. Pack tightly, filling the entire cavity. Apply firm direct pressure over the wound for 3–5 minutes. Do not remove in the field; leave for surgical personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;margin:12px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Can Axiostat Z-Fold be used for junctional wounds?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: Yes — junctional wounds (groin, axilla, neck) are a primary indication. When a tourniquet cannot be applied due to wound location, deep wound packing with hemostatic gauze is the recommended intervention. The Z-Fold format and pure chitosan construction make Axiostat suitable for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;margin:12px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Does the 100% chitosan construction affect removal or wound care after packing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 0;\"\u003eA: Chitosan is biocompatible and the material will soften when saturated with blood and wound fluid. Removal should be performed by medical personnel in a controlled setting. Do not remove a packed wound in the field once hemostasis has been achieved — disruption of the formed clot risks re-hemorrhage. In surgical settings, irrigation aids in removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--PPLX_FAQ_END--\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Axiobio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42377724428406,"sku":"MIL-300-Z","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/6909\/4262\/files\/axiostat-z-fold-hemostatic-gauze-100-chitosan-based-bleeding-control-solution-3281543.png?v=1780701723"},{"product_id":"axiostat-l88-hemostatic-patch-100-chitosan-based-bleeding-control-solution-copy","title":"Axiostat L88 Hemostatic Trauma Patch – 100% Chitosan-Based Bleeding Control Solution","description":"\u003c!-- Axiostat L88 Hemostatic Patch — Axiobio | tactical-medicine.com --\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  @import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Chakra+Petch:wght@400;600;700\u0026family=Barlow:wght@400;500;600\u0026display=swap');\n  .pdp-wrap { font-family: 'Barlow', sans-serif; color: #121212; max-width: 960px; margin: 0 auto; }\n  .pdp-wrap h1, .pdp-wrap h2, .pdp-wrap h3 { font-family: 'Chakra Petch', 'Barlow', sans-serif; }\n  .pdp-wrap * { box-sizing: border-box; }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-wrap\"\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 1.

The gauze provides structure but the chitosan is only on the surface. Axiostat is made entirely of chitosan — the material itself is the biopolymer, with no inert fabric substrate. This means every surface in contact with the wound is active hemostatic chitosan, not inert backing material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;margin:12px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: Is Axiostat L88 CoTCCC-recommended?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: Axiostat is not currently listed on the TCCC guidelines as a CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic agent. It is a clinically validated chitosan-based hemostatic used in surgical and emergency medicine contexts. CoTCCC recommendation requires specific U.S. military trauma validation processes that Axiostat has not completed as of current guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;margin:12px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: How fast does Axiostat L88 achieve hemostasis?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Barlow',sans-serif;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: Axiobio claims hemostasis in under 30 seconds based on their clinical data.

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.

At 2.5 years shelf life without refrigeration, it provides a reasonable service life for consumer kits with periodic rotation.

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.

The regenerated oxidized cellulose (ROC) in WoundClot-R is water-soluble and will dissolve in body fluids over time. This eliminates the need to remove packed gauze and reduces the risk of re-bleeding caused by disrupting a formed clot during extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;margin:14px 0 4px;\"\u003eQ: What does the \"R\" in WoundClot-R stand for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eA: \"R\" stands for Resorbable — the product designation indicating that this variant of WoundClot fully dissolves in the wound and does not require manual removal.
