Combat gauze is a specialized medical dressing designed to control severe bleeding in traumatic injuries. It is impregnated with a hemostatic agent, typically a clotting factor, which promotes rapid blood clotting when applied to a wound. When the gauze is packed into the wound and pressure is applied, it helps to facilitate the body's natural clotting process, thereby reducing blood loss and potentially saving lives in emergency situations. Its ease of use and effectiveness make it an essential tool for first responders and military personnel.
