RapidStop Packing Gauze is a medical-grade, Z-folded gauze designed for rapid wound packing and haemorrhage control in trauma situations. Vacuum-sealed for compact carry and quick deployment, it unravels cleanly so you can pack a wound under pressure without fumbling.
It joins the wider RapidStop range of haemorrhage control products used by emergency responders, paramedics, defence personnel, and trained first aiders across Australia.
Key features
- Z-folded for fast, controlled unravelling during wound packing
- Vacuum-sealed packaging keeps it compact and protected in trauma kits, IFAKs, and EDC pouches
- Highly absorbent medical-grade gauze suitable for deep wound packing and basic bandaging
- Designed for use on junctional and extremity wounds where a tourniquet cannot be applied
What kind of gauze do you use to pack a wound? For traumatic bleeding, use a sterile, Z-folded packing gauze like RapidStop that can be fed directly into the wound cavity and held under firm pressure to encourage clotting.
Wet or dry? For acute trauma and haemorrhage control, pack the wound dry and apply firm, direct pressure for at least three minutes. Moist gauze techniques are used in clinical wound care, not in bleeding emergencies.
Who it suits
- Paramedics and emergency responders
- Defence, police, and tactical first aid kits
- Workplace and remote-area first aid officers
- Home preparedness and EDC trauma kits
