Description
This pack comes with five HypaStop Haemostatic Gauzes, each individually wrapped to ensure first aiders have immediate access to sterile gauze.
How Does HypaStop Haemostatic Gauze Work?
This haemostatic gauze is used to kick start the clotting process through a chemical reaction. This is accomplished when the haemostatic agent in the gauze imitates a chemical that the body requires for the clotting process.
This agent can then be drawn into the blood stream and start the clotting that would occur naturally, meaning that the wound will close more rapidly than if the casualty were to wait for their body to create the chemical itself.
What Agent is the Active Ingredient?
HypaStop Haemostatic Gauze uses sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) to accelerate clot formation by increasing blood viscosity and creating a viscous gel. Unlike other alternatives, it doesn’t use chitosan, a fibrous substance found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimp, crabs, and lobsters, as well as in the cell walls of some fungi and insects.
How to Use HypaStop Haemostatic Gauze
The HypaStop Haemostatic Gauze is simple to use, even with no first aid training. It can be administered for either shallow cuts or for deeper wounds.
To use the gauze for shallow cuts, it should be held against the wound while maintaining pressure, either manually or through the use of a bandage. While for deeper wounds, the gauze may need to be packed inside the incision before being secured into place.
Haemostatic gauze should not be used for:
•A patient's airway or chest
•A patient's eyes
•Any serious head injury which exposes brain tissue
Reasons to Choose Haemostatic Gauze for Severe Trauma Bleeds
1.Rapid Clot Formation
•Haemostatic gauze contains agents that accelerate the body’s natural clotting.
•This can stop life-threatening bleeding in under 3 minutes, much faster than regular gauze.
2.Effective on Arterial Bleeds
•Specifically designed to control arterial and junctional haemorrhages, which are often not manageable with standard gauze alone.
3.Used by Military and First Responders
•Proven in combat and pre-hospital emergency care where massive bleeding is common.
•Recommended in TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) and civilian trauma protocols.
4.Works When Pressure Alone Fails
•Haemostatic gauze can enhance the effect of direct pressure, often making the difference between life and death when a tourniquet is not viable (e.g., groin, neck, axilla).
5.Reduces Blood Loss
•Faster bleeding control reduces overall blood loss, improving the patient’s chance of survival and reducing complications like hypovolemic shock.
6.Easy to Use Under Stress
•Designed for quick deployment, even in high-pressure situations by non-medical personnel (e.g., in civilian trauma kits or stop-the-bleed kits).
7.Clinically Tested
•Haemostatic Gauze products are backed by clinical studies showing higher success rates than traditional gauze in controlling haemorrhage.
Limitations of Regular Dressing (Standard Gauze)
•Relies solely on mechanical pressure and natural clotting - often too slow for major bleeds.
•Less effective on deep wounds or wounds in non-compressible areas.
•Can become soaked through quickly, requiring frequent changes or additional material.
•Not formulated for active bleeding control - more appropriate for minor injuries or post-haemostatic dressing.
Bottom Line:
For severe trauma bleeds, haemostatic gauze is a life-saving tool — particularly in emergencies, field settings, or mass casualty events where time and blood are both critical. Regular dressings are not enough when seconds matter.
