Haemostatic dressings

Haemostatic dressings are specialised wound dressings designed to support rapid control of severe external bleeding by combining effective wound packing with advanced clot‑promoting materials. You will find them in compact formats optimized for individual first aid kits, tactical med pouches and professional trauma bags, where every second and every cubic centimetre of space matters.

Most haemostatic dressings use a sterile gauze carrier impregnated with an active agent such as kaolin or chitosan to accelerate the body’s natural coagulation. Z‑folded or rolled constructions make packing deep, irregular wounds easier, helping you apply firm, targeted pressure directly at the source of bleeding. Depending on the model, dressings may be vacuum‑packed to save space, X‑ray detectable, or combined with an outer pressure bandage to create a compact bleeding control system.

This category is particularly important for trained users operating in high‑risk environments: military and security personnel, rescue teams, EMS providers, as well as experienced outdoor, shooting sport and adventure enthusiasts building advanced trauma kits. Haemostatic dressings are also a key element of many ifak configurations and stop‑the‑bleed sets, where they complement tourniquets, pressure dressings and chest seals.

When comparing products, pay attention to the type of haemostatic agent, packing format (z‑fold, rolled gauze, pads), sterility and expiry date, as well as compatibility with your existing pouches and medical gear. In the haemostatic dressings range you may encounter well‑known tactical medical brands and solutions developed specifically for combat and prehospital care.
