Let's go over how to use it efficiently.

What Is Axiostat Z-Fold Gauze?

The defense hemostatic dressing Axiostat Z-Fold Gauze was created especially for situations involving high pressure trauma. It is pre-folded in a z-fold style, which facilitates rapid and effective deployment. Each item has a lengthy 5-year shelf life since it is vacuum-sealed in clean packaging.

Chitosan, a biopolymer recognized for its antibacterial and bioadhesive qualities, is used to make the dressing. Even in cases where the body's natural ability to clot may be weakened, it rapidly starts the creation of a clot when used on a bleeding wound.

Because Axiostat Z-Fold Gauze has an NSN (National Stock Number), it can be used in military-grade kits and is used by defense forces all around the world.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Axiostat Z-Fold Gauze

Step 1: Prepare the Wound Area

Start by making the wound visible. Clothes surrounding the bleeding spot should be cut or removed. Clear any dirt or foreign objects that are visible carefully, taking care not to disturb any buried objects.

Step 2: Open and Deploy the Dressing

Keep your hands clean by wearing gloves. Unwrap the Z-fold gauze from the vacuum-sealed package. Carefully unfold the dressing so that you can choose its length when applying it.

Step 3: Pack the Wound

Fill the wound cavity as deep as possible with the dressing. Using your fingers, insert each fold one at a time with steady pressure. Filling the wound channels will allow the gauze and bleeding vessels to come into direct contact.

Step 4: Apply Pressure

Press firmly and directly on the dressing for a good amount of time after the wound is completely packed. Keep an eye on the region to make sure the bleeding stops or slows down. You might need more gauze or continuous pressure if the bleeding doesn't stop.

Step 5: Secure the Dressing

Secure the dressing in place with a second bandage or wrap. In order to stabilize the wound and maintain pressure throughout patient transport or relocation, this procedure is essential. Prepare to be transferred to EMS or trauma specialists, and if at all possible, note the application time.
