Gauze with clotting agents is a specialized type of medical dressing designed to help control bleeding. It is made from absorbent materials and is infused with substances that promote blood clotting, such as chitosan or kaolin. This type of gauze is often used in emergency situations, such as trauma care, to quickly stop severe bleeding. When applied to a wound, the gauze works by absorbing blood and activating the body's natural clotting mechanisms. This can significantly reduce the time it takes for a wound to stop bleeding, making it a valuable tool for first responders and medical professionals in critical situations.
