Field Brief

North American Rescue® Responder Compressed Gauze — Z-Fold Wound Packing Gauze

Overview
Wound packing gauze is a core bleeding control item for trauma kits. It can be packed into deep or irregular wounds to help apply pressure at the source of bleeding, or used as backing gauze with hemostatic agents and compression bandages.

North American Rescue® Responder Compressed Gauze is a sterile, low-profile 6-ply cotton gauze designed for wound packing, bandaging, and hemorrhage control support.

How It Works
The gauze is vacuum packed for compact storage and expands once opened. Its Z-fold configuration allows controlled deployment during wound packing or bandaging, while the crinkle weave helps improve fluid absorption.

Finished edges help reduce loose ends and lint during use.
