Description
TrueClot Simulated Hemostatic Gauze. This is a specialized training gauze designed to work as a key component of the TrueClot hemorrhage control training system. It is not intended for human medical use.
Key Features:
Realistic Clotting Interaction: This gauze is impregnated with a special substance that reacts directly with TrueClot Blood Simulant (sold separately). When the gauze is packed into a simulated wound filled with the simulant, it causes the fluid to rapidly form realistic, simulated blood clots. This provides crucial tactile and visual feedback for trainees learning wound packing techniques.
Z-Folded Design: The gauze is Z-folded, a method where it is layered back and forth in a compact stack. This format is standard for modern tactical and combat dressings, as it allows for controlled, rapid deployment directly into a wound without the risk of the roll becoming contaminated or unmanageable.
Standard Dimensions: The gauze measures approximately 3 inches wide by 12 feet (4 yards) long, mimicking the size of common medical and hemostatic dressings.
Realistic Packaging: It comes vacuum-sealed in a durable pouch, replicating the packaging of real-world sterile hemostatic agents. This allows trainees to practice the critical step of opening and deploying the gauze under simulated pressure.
Inert and Safe: The gauze is an inert training device and is safe to handle. It is designed for single use in training scenarios.
Intended Use:
TrueClot Simulated Hemostatic Gauze is specifically used in high-fidelity medical and trauma training to teach the proper techniques for controlling severe bleeding. Its primary application is in wound packing, where trainees learn to:
Open the vacuum-sealed package.
Deploy the Z-folded gauze directly into a simulated wound (typically on a task trainer).
Pack the wound tightly and effectively.
Observe the formation of a simulated clot as the gauze interacts with the TrueClot blood simulant.
Apply and hold pressure to "control" the simulated hemorrhage.
This product is an essential tool for military medics, civilian first responders, EMTs, and other healthcare professionals, providing a more realistic and effective training experience than using standard, non-reactive gauze.
