When is it used?
For severe external bleeding where wound packing and direct pressure are appropriate, including certain wounds where an extremity tourniquet cannot be applied. Follow manufacturer instructions and bleeding control training. It is not a treatment for internal, noncompressible hemorrhage.
Frequently asked questions
How is it different from standard gauze? It contains kaolin to support clot formation.
Does it replace a tourniquet? No. A tourniquet may be the appropriate first-line intervention for life-threatening extremity bleeding.
Should I also carry a pressure bandage? A pressure bandage may help maintain pressure over a packed wound when used appropriately.
