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.
