Description
ChitoGauze XR Pro is a hemostatic gauze dressing designed to control moderate to very severe hemorrhage. It features a radio-opaque strip, making the dressing easy to identify during x-ray investigation. The XR Pro readily conforms to a wide range of wound profiles, allowing easy wound packing and rapid control of bleeding. The chitosan is impregnated through the dressing and specifically designed to limit particle shedding into the wound, unlike other dressings currently available.
Can individuals with a shellfish allergy have an adverse reaction to the use of Tricol’s chitosan-based products?
When manufacturing the proprietary chitosan, Chito+™, the residual shrimp protein which is the frequent allergen is eliminated. There have been no known or suspected allergic reactions as a result of using HemCon products since the distribution started in 2002. Over one million of the dressings have been used all over the world with no adverse effects reported. In a study conducted on 221 individuals, no subjects demonstrated any dermal sensitivity when tested against the chitosan material.
