The Chitogauze Kit with Prometheus ChitoGauze XR Pro is a medical kit used in emergency situations to control severe bleeding. It includes a guze pad made of sterile cotton infused with chitosan, a hemostatic agent derived from the shells of crustaceans. Chitosan helps to promote blood clotting and stop bleeding quickly. The kit also contains a roll of XR Pro chitogauze, which is a wider version of the chitogauze with extra layers of chitosan for greater clotting power. This kit is an effective tool for emergency responders, paramedics, and military personnel to control severe bleeding in the field.

This bagged kit includes a 2”x2” gauze pad, as well as the Prometheus ChitoGauze® XR Pro hemostatic dressing. The Chitogauze® is impregnated with Chitosan, to control traumatic hemorrhaging.

  • (1) Prometheus ChitoGauze® XR Pro
  • (1) 2x2 Gauze pad

Prometheus ChitoGauze XR Pro is a type of wound dressing that is impregnated with chitosan, a natural biopolymer derived from the shells of crustaceans. Chitosan has been shown to have antimicrobial properties and can support wound healing.

When the dressing is applied to a wound, the chitosan in the dressing comes into contact with the wound surface. Chitosan forms a gel-like layer when it comes into contact with wound fluids, creating a moist environment that is beneficial for wound healing. This gel layer also helps to create a barrier against bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause infection.

Chitosan has positively-charged molecules, which attract and bind to negatively-charged elements such as bacteria, dead tissue, and other debris in the wound. This process is known as electrostatic interaction and helps to remove these harmful substances from the wound.

As the dressing absorbs wound fluids, it releases chitosan onto the wound, providing a sustained antimicrobial effect. Chitosan has been shown to be effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Additionally, chitosan has been found to stimulate the production of collagen, a key protein involved in wound healing. This can help to promote the growth of new tissue and blood vessels, leading to faster healing.

Overall, the combination of chitosan with the wound dressing creates an ideal environment for wound healing by reducing infection, promoting tissue regeneration, and regulating moisture levels in the wound.

FAQs About Trauma Dressings and Bandages
  • What Are Trauma Dressings?

    Trauma dressings are highly absorbent, sterile wound pads designed for immediate first aid treatment of severe bleeding, traumatic wounds, and life-threatening injuries. The primary goal of trauma dressings is rapid haemostasis (bleeding control), wound coverage, and protection from infection.

  • Why Choose Our Trauma Dressings & Bandages?

    Super-Absorbent Wound Dressing Pad: Quickly controls heavy bleeding from cuts, lacerations, gunshot wounds, and major trauma injuries. Sterile & Hypoallergenic: Prevents infection and irritation; safe even on sensitive skin. Rapid-Action Compression: Features elasticized wrap for direct pressure and fast haemostasis. Easy Application: Intuitive design for single-handed self-application or use on others. Multi-Purpose Use: Essential for first responders, EMS, military, home first aid kits, survivalists, and workplaces. Ideal wounds: car accidents, workplace trauma, gunshot wounds, deep lacerations, animal bites, disaster response, and outdoor injuries.

  • What is the Difference Between Occlusive and Trauma Dressing?

    Occlusive dressing is airtight and watertight (often used for chest wounds, sucking chest wounds, and preventing air from entering wounds). Trauma dressing is designed for absorbing blood rapidly and applying compression, but it is not airtight. The primary function is to control severe bleeding & protect large wounds.

  • What Are Three Types of Wound Dressings?

    Gauze Dressings Film/Occlusive Dressings Foam/Absorbent Dressings (including trauma dressings)

  • How to Use Trauma Dressings?

    Expose the wound and remove debris if possible. Place the trauma pad directly on the bleeding site. Wrap the bandage firmly around the limb or area, applying continuous pressure. Secure the bandage to maintain pressure, elevate if possible. Seek medical help immediately

  • What Is Considered a Trauma Wound?

    A trauma wound results from blunt force, penetration, deep cuts, crush injuries, or avulsion—often with severe bleeding and tissue damage.

  • Difference Between Surgical Wound and Trauma Wound?

    Surgical wound is controlled, clean, intentionally made during surgery. Trauma wound is accidental, often contaminated, and irregular, needing immediate bleeding control.

  • What Is the Best Dressing for a Deep Wound?

    Trauma dressings or hemostatic gauze are best for deep wounds with active bleeding. Follow with an elastic/compression bandage for stabilization.

  • Most Popular Dressings for Wounds?

    Trauma/Combat/Emergency Dressings (e.g., Israeli bandage) Sterile Gauze Pads Hydrocolloid/Film Dressings

  • What Is a Trauma Bandage?

    A trauma bandage is a medical device combining a high-absorbency wound pad with an elastic compression wrap, used for rapid, effective hemorrhage control in emergency situations (e.g., Israeli bandage).

  • When & How to Use a Trauma Dressing or Bandage?

    When: Use immediately on major traumatic wounds with active bleeding. How: Place the absorbent pad, wrap snugly, apply direct pressure, and fasten.

  • What Are Three Types of Bandages?

    Triangular Bandage Roller (Elastic or Crepe) Bandage Tubular Bandage

  • How to Use a Trauma Bandage?

    Apply pad to wound. Wrap bandage around wound/limb. Pull tightly to apply compression. Secure using hook, clip, or tuck end.

  • Why the Name 'Israeli Bandage'?

    Developed by Israeli military for battlefield use, the "Israeli bandage" combines a pad and elastic wrap for one-step hemorrhage control—now a global standard.

  • What Is the Golden Rule of Bandages?

    “Always secure the pad on the wound, apply pressure, and never remove the first bandage if bleeding continues — instead, add more layers.”

  • How to Pack a Trauma Wound?

    Fill wound cavity with sterile gauze or hemostatic dressing, apply trauma dressing over, then apply direct pressure until bleeding stops.

  • What Is an Emergency Trauma Bandage?

    A pre-assembled, all-in-one bandage that provides pressure, absorbs blood, and is fast to apply—crucial for severe trauma or mass casualty situations.

  • Can I Reuse an Israeli Bandage?

    No—Israeli bandages (and all trauma dressings) are designed for single use only to ensure sterility and effectiveness.
