WoundClot® EMS Hemostatic Gauze, Z-Fold — 3" x 39"

WoundClot® Hemostatic Gauze – Israeli-Engineered Bleeding Control for First Aid & Trauma Kits

Rapid, safe, and effective bleeding control – designed for civilian first aid kits, professional responders, and tactical environments.

WoundClot® EMS/First Responder is a next-generation, non-oxidized, non-regenerated cellulosic (NONRCS) hemostatic gauze engineered to rapidly control mild, moderate, and severe bleeding in the prehospital environment. When the gauze contacts blood, it transforms into a thick, adherent 3D gel matrix that conforms to tissue, concentrates clotting factors, and supports fast, stable hemostasis—even in challenging wounds. 

WoundClot® is a revolutionary hemostatic dressing developed in Israel using advanced cellulose technology. Unlike older products that rely on kaolin or chitosan, WoundClot is made from a non-oxidized cellulose matrix engineered to accelerate clotting naturally within the body’s own coagulation cascade.

When applied to a wound, WoundClot rapidly absorbs blood and transforms into a stable, gel-like matrix that adheres to the wound surface. This gel not only stops bleeding but also protects the wound site, providing a barrier against further blood loss and contamination.

Key Features & Benefits:

• EMS-optimized size: 3 in x 39 in Z-Fold strip for efficient wound packing and deep-track hemorrhage control.
• Powerful fluid management: Absorbs up to 2,500% of its weight and remains actively absorbent for up to 24 hours, helping maintain a clean field while the clot stabilizes. 
• Multi-mechanism action: Converts to a tenacious, expanding gel on contact with blood to seal and stabilize the wound surface.
• Compatible with standard practice: Works with direct pressure and wound-packing techniques used by EMS, law enforcement, and military responders. (Manufacturer notes effectiveness without manual pressure; follow local protocols.) 
• 5-year shelf life for dependable readiness across kits and vehicles. 
• Latex-free; single-use, sterile packaging. (Per device listing/IFU.)

Clinical Indications (Intended Use):

Indicated as a topical dressing for local management of bleeding wounds (cuts, lacerations, abrasions) and for temporary treatment of severely bleeding wounds, including traumatic injuries and operative/post-operative/donor-site bleeding, when temporary control of bleeding is required. 

Who It’s For:

• EMS & Fire-Rescue: Wound packing for junctional and deep-track hemorrhage; adjunct to direct pressure.
• Law Enforcement / First Responders: Patrol IFAKs, active-violence response, SWAT med kits.
• Industrial/Remote Medicine: On-site response teams, remote area medical support.
  (Use by trained personnel; follow agency protocols and local regulations.) 
• Everyday Carry: Add to your IFAK, EDC pouch, or car kit.
• EMS / Fire Rescue: Stop uncontrolled bleeds quickly without additional agents.
• Law Enforcement / Military: Field-proven, compact, and effective for tactical medics.
• Civilians: A must-have for hikers, parents, or workplace first aid kits.

How to Use (At a Glance):

• Place/pack the 3" x 39" Z-Fold strip directly to the bleeding source, packing tightly into the wound tract as needed.
• Maintain firm, direct pressure per protocol while the gauze hydrates and forms its 3D gel matrix.
• If bleeding persists, add additional WoundClot® or re-pack to target the source; reassess pressure.
• Secure with a pressure bandage for transport and monitor.
  (Always follow your medical direction and the device Instructions for Use.) 

Why It Matters for Your First Aid Kit:

• Compact and lightweight — perfect for everyday carry or integration into an IFAK.
• Effective against severe bleeding (arterial, venous, and capillary).
• Safe for use on adults, children, and even patients with bleeding disorders.
• Unlike traditional gauze, WoundClot is bio-absorbable, meaning it can be left in place without surgical removal.

Contraindications & Important Safety Information:

• Not for surgical implantation in the U.S.; remove within 24 hours or prior to primary closure. 
• External use only. Do not use in patients with known sensitivity to cellulose-based dressings. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. (See IFU.) 
• Standard of care applies: Manage airway, breathing, and circulation; use tourniquets when indicated; seek advanced care. Follow your agency protocols and medical direction.

Storage & Readiness:

Store in a cool, dry place within the pouch until use. Check pouch integrity and expiration date before deploying. (Refer to IFU for full instructions.)

Why Choose WoundClot® Over Traditional Gauze or Mineral/Chitosan Agents?

• No Kaolin / No Chitosan: Unlike QuikClot® (kaolin) or Celox® (chitosan), WoundClot contains no minerals or shellfish derivatives.
• Bio-Absorbable: No need for surgical removal. The body naturally breaks it down over time.
• Higher Absorption: Can absorb up to 2,500% of its weight in fluid.
• Safety: Minimal heat generation, no risk of burns (unlike older kaolin gauzes).
• Versatility: Works on external bleeding, surgical wounds, and even internal applications in hospital settings.
  

Nonwoven Technology – Why It’s Different:

WoundClot isn’t woven like traditional gauze rolls. Instead, it uses a nonwoven fabric structure:

• Uniform Distribution: The fibers are laid in a randomized matrix that increases surface area for absorption.
• 3D Gel Matrix: Once soaked in blood, the dressing expands into a thick gel barrier that conforms tightly to the wound.
• Tissue Adhesion: The nonwoven fibers “lock in place” against tissue, creating a seal without adhesives or pressure.
• Flexibility: The sheet can be packed into penetrating injuries, draped over surface wounds, or cut to size.

This nonwoven design ensures that WoundClot won’t peel off or break down prematurely—a critical difference in uncontrolled bleeding situations.
