CounterFlow Hemostatic Gauze Provides Military Medics Confidence and Demonstrates Effective Hemorrhage Control in a Live Tissue Simulation
The self-propelling hemostatic agents of CounterFlow-Gauze may compensate for suboptimal packing by novice users or in high-stress situations. These findings support the adoption of CounterFlow-Gauze, providing all soldiers access to superior but restricted hemostatic agents in a safe and easy-to-use gauze on the battlefield.
