- ChitoGauze* PRO is a Z-folded, chitosan impregnated gauze. Chitosan is a naturally occurring, biocompatible polysaccharide and the hemostatic properties of chitosan enhance the ability of the medical gauze to control the bleeding
- he robust, uniformly applied chitosan coating on the gauze allows for optimal chitosan blood interaction to effectively control bleeding
- The chitosan further reduces blood loss by helping the dressing conform to the wound site while providing a physical barrier to prevent bleeding
- This mechanism of action supports localized clotting within and on the gauze to stop bleeding quickly and independently of the clotting cascade
- The dressing readily conforms to wound surfaces with complex geometries to allow efficient staunching of all bleeding.
