Why we like these:
This is pretty much just sterile wound packing gauze. The thing we like about this, besides the NAR signature vacuum-sealed packaging, is the little blue strip. It will actually show up in X-rays, so if a wound is packed with this gauze it will ideally not be accidentally left inside the patient. Good addition to any Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK).
All of our medical equipment comes direct from North American Rescue, and you can be confident that what you purchase here is 100% authentic.
Also, we strongly suggest taking a "Stop the Bleed" class. Visit www.stopthebleed.org to learn more and find a class near you.
