Comparison of Combat Gauze and TraumaStat in Two Severe Groin Injury Models
Abstract
Fabric-like hemostatic dressings offer promise for hemorrhage control in noncompressible areas, especially given their similarity in form to standard gauze currently in use. Recently, two such products, Combat Gauze (CBG) and TraumaStat (TMS), were introduced. Their performance is evaluated in two vascular injury models. Materials and Methods. The dressings were evaluated in anesthetized Yorkshire pigs, hemorrhaged by full transection of the femoral vasculature with 2 min free bleeding period (CBG = 6, TMS = 6) or by 4 mm femoral arterial puncture with 45 s free bleeding period (CBG = 8, TMS = 8). After injury, dressings were applied, followed by 5 min of manual compression and then 500 mL resuscitation fluid infused over 30 min. Vital signs, blood pressure,and blood loss were re corded throughout the 3ph experiment. Bleeding control was the primary outcome.
