Gasa comprimida NAR

Is this gauze impregnated with any hemostatic agent?

No. NAR Compressed Gauze (30-0052) is plain sterile 6-ply 100% cotton — no kaolin, no chitosan, no zeolite. It is used as primary packing for moderate bleeding, reinforcement behind hemostatic agents, and secondary pressure layer. For high-volume arterial hemorrhage, pair it with Combat Gauze or ChitoGauze as the primary hemostatic agent.

What are the dimensions when unrolled?

The roll expands to 4.5 inches wide × 4.1 yards (approximately 12 feet) long when fully deployed. Vacuum-sealed packaging compresses it to 3 in. × 2 in. × 1 in., weighing 1.2 oz — one of the most volume-efficient ways to carry gauze in an IFAK.

Can I use this gauze for wound packing training?

Yes — it expands and packs realistically in commercial wound simulators. At $2.99/unit, it is cost-effective for high-repetition packing skills training. Do not reuse gauze from a training session in a field kit; replace opened rolls.

How many rolls should I put in an IFAK?

Minimum one roll per IFAK as supplemental packing material. Operators in high-tempo environments stage 2–3 rolls alongside one hemostatic gauze roll. At $2.99 per unit, there is no cost argument for under-supplying gauze. Under-supplying gauze is a documented contributing factor in failed wound packing outcomes.
