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. Do not lift to inspect. Remove hands only after the full pressure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;\"\u003eQ: Does Combat Gauze have a NSN for military procurement?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eA: Yes. NSN: 6510-01-562-3325 (standard 3″). Combat Gauze is DAPA listed and procurement-eligible through standard military supply channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-weight:700;color:#121212;\"\u003eQ: Can Combat Gauze be used on patients taking blood thinners?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eA: Combat Gauze is cascade-dependent (kaolin activates Factor XII). 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. Irrigate the wound to loosen the gauze before removal. The radiopaque strip allows imaging to confirm complete removal. Do not remove in pre-hospital settings unless ordered by protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--PPLX_FAQ_END--\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:30px 0 0;font-size:12px;color:#8f8c83;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eRelated searches: QuikClot Combat Gauze, hemostatic dressing, kaolin gauze, wound packing gauze, CoTCCC hemostatic, Z-fold combat gauze, Teleflex Z-Medica, junctional hemorrhage, military hemostatic agent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:20px 0 0;padding:12px 16px;background:#f5f4f0;border-left:3px solid #9c8f61;font-size:13px;color:#555;line-height:1.5;\"\u003eAll products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors.
