• Dependable:
Proven effective on the battlefield and in trauma settings; non-shedding; creates a strong clot; provides localized support of clotting
• Easy to Use:
Intuitive application/removal; flexible z-folded gauze dressing conforms to tissue surfaces
• Safe:
No pro-clotting agents; no known contraindications
HOW TRICOL DRESSINGS WORK
These ChitoGauze products are z-folded, chitosan-impregnated gauze. Chitosan is a naturally occurring, biocompatible polysaccharide. Its hemostatic properties enhance the gauze's ability to control bleeding. The robust, uniformly applied chitosan coating allows optimal blood-blood interaction for effective control. Chitosan further reduces blood loss by helping the dressing conform to the wound site while providing a physical barrier to prevent bleeding.
