It is a temporary means of controlling bleeding from a traumatic wound. One advantage is that it will not stick to the wound, so that any clotting stays in place when the bandage is removed. Kaolin is the active ingredient that decreases clotting time dramatically, and has been shown to allow earlier recovery in medical trials.Quick answer is you don't, your medic does. You use a tourniquet.The long answer is combat gauze is a hemostatic dressing designed to be used on axillary (armpit) and and inguinal (groin) wounds that have an arterial bleed but are too high on the appendage for a tourniquet to control the bleeding. It cannot be used on neck wounds. It's proven effective in lab situations but having used it in the field I can tell you it isn't as effective as a tool as you'd hope and in the event of an arterial bleed you really don't have time to mess around with it and have it be effective. For this reason I prefer hemostatic powders to hemostatic gauze simply because powder will work sure fire 100% of the time.For an average Joe I would simply put direct pressure on an inguinal or axillary wound and wait for your medic to treat it. Do what you can with an emergency trauma bandage or your knee to keep pressure on it.
