ChitoGauze XR Pro is a haemostatic gauze dressing designed for emergency control of severely bleeding wounds. The chitosan-coated gauze substrate combines haemostatic clot acceleration with the familiar handling characteristics of standard gauze, enabling trained responders to pack wounds using techniques they already know. The XR Pro specification provides extended-release chitosan for sustained haemostatic action.
Compliance Summary: ChitoGauze XR Pro is a medical device using chitosan haemostatic technology on a gauze substrate. The extended-release formulation provides sustained clot acceleration during wound packing. Training in haemostatic wound packing is required for effective deployment.
What does XR Pro mean?
XR stands for Extended Release. The XR Pro formulation delivers chitosan haemostatic agent over a sustained period during wound packing, providing ongoing clot acceleration as the gauze absorbs blood. This extended-release profile supports haemostasis in wounds that continue to bleed during the packing process.
Why use ChitoGauze instead of plain chitosan dressings?
ChitoGauze combines chitosan haemostatic technology with a familiar gauze substrate. Responders trained in standard wound packing techniques can apply ChitoGauze using the same methods they use for plain gauze - feed, pack, and apply pressure. This reduces the learning curve compared to pure chitosan products with different handling characteristics.
