Gauze is one of the most versatile and essential supplies in any trauma kit. Whether you need to pack a wound, control bleeding, or protect an injury until evacuation, the right gauze makes a measurable difference. Our selection covers both standard medical gauze and specialty hemostatic gauze designed for life-threatening hemorrhage.

There are two main types of hemostatic gauze used in tactical medicine. Chitosan-based gauze -- including Celox and ChitoGauze -- works by binding directly to red blood cells through electrostatic attraction, forming a clot independent of the body's normal coagulation cascade. This makes chitosan effective even in patients on blood thinners or in hypothermic conditions. Kaolin-based gauze like QuikClot Combat Gauze works by activating Factor XII to trigger the body's own clotting system -- it's the CoTCCC-recommended standard and widely issued to military units worldwide.

Our hemostatic gauze selection comes from North American Rescue, Celox, and QuikClot -- three of the most trusted names in tactical medicine. Pair with tourniquets, chest seals, and pressure bandages to build a complete hemorrhage control kit.
