ChitoGauze PRO Equivalent & OEM Chitosan

ChitoGauze® PRO Equivalent & OEM Chitosan Hemostatic Dressing Factory

ChitoGauze® PRO (manufactured by HemCon / Tricol Biomedical) is one of the premier CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic dressings, renowned for integrating pure chitosan throughout a soft non-woven polyester/rayon matrix to achieve rapid, factor-independent clotting alongside natural broad-spectrum antibacterial protection. Ruten Medical manufactures an advanced, pharmacologically equivalent Chitosan Z-Fold Gauze (BioShield RT-CEL-7515) featuring >=90% medical-grade deacetylation, 7.5 cm × 1.5 m dimensions, continuous embedded barium sulfate radiopaque line, and proven efficacy against hypothermic and anticoagulated blood. Produced in our 6,000㎡ ISO Class 8 cleanrooms, Ruten offers defense procurement officers and distributor brand owners a direct-from-source manufacturing partnership with substantial cost efficiencies and flexible private-label customization.

Clinical & Laboratory Evidence

Rigorous In-Vivo & In-Vitro Testing

ISO 20743 Determination of Antibacterial Activity of Textile Products

Antimicrobial Bio-Barrier Activity (ISO 20743 / AATCC 100)

Log Reduction > 3.4 (>99.9% reduction against MRSA & E. coli)

In quantitative bacterial inoculation challenges simulating delayed battlefield evacuation (>24 hours), Ruten's high-deacetylation chitosan gauze demonstrated strong passive antimicrobial inhibition without releasing toxic chemical antiseptics into the wound bed.

ChitoGauze® PRO Engineering

Uniform impregnation of chitosan into non-woven polyester/rayon fabric. The chitosan is distributed evenly across all fibers, ensuring immediate mechanical contact with bleeding vessels regardless of which side touches the wound.

  • Dual-sided active coating: no wrong side during emergency wound packing
  • High flexural softness conforms to deep cavity contours
  • Broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection reduces wound infection risk

Ruten BioShield Chitosan Engineering

Ruten uses pharmaceutical-grade marine chitosan with >=90% deacetylation, combined with a proprietary hydro-crimped spunlace process that enhances liquid absorption velocity by 35% compared to conventional non-wovens.

  • High deacetylation (>=90%) delivers superior polycationic charge density
  • Accelerated absorption rate expands gauze slightly to exert gentle tamponade
  • Complete OEM white-label packaging available from 1,000 units
  • Significant pricing advantages for government defense procurement
