Product Details

The Safeguard Difference: Chitosan-based products form a life-saving pseudoclot, even if the ability to clot is impaired.

Derived from a naturally-occurring, biocompatible polysaccharide, chitosan-impregnated ChitoGauze® XR Pro controls moderate-to-severe hemorrhage when seconds matter. [1] The hemostatic effect is achieved via positively-charged chitosan interacting with negatively-charged red blood cell membranes, resulting in a life-saving pseudoclot.

ChitoGauze XR Pro readily conforms to a wide range of wound profiles, allowing for easy wound packing and rapid control of blood loss. ChitoGauze XR Pro packs wounds like traditional gauze and features a radiopaque strip.
