Flat Compressed Gauze

This guaze packs flat and is excellent for absorbing blood when packing wounds. I have several packages of this in all of my trauma bags and IFAK,s

This is the smallest packing gauze of which I know. It makes a great component to a minimalist kit. Well packaged. Good price.

Very nice gauze. Extremely compact makes good for space saving. Half the size of g.i. so less bulky

I bought a couple of these gauze strips because they're pocket-thin but also long. I tucked them into a pocket-sized EDC first aid pouch to be used for bleeding control, whether that's a bad cut or a major puncture wound. I used to carry a SWAT-T torniquet to have a "multitool" that could be used for a torniquet or a pressure bandage, but it was simply too big and heavy. This H&H gauze strip replaced it. Although I've lost the torniquet ability, I think gauze strips are a better overall bleeding control option when size is a consideration. Clothing can be used to maintain pressure or form a quasi-torniquet if push comes to shove, but a gauze strip is smaller and simultaneously covers the most common bleeding wounds you might encounter.

I slipped with a knife while camping and cut my hand to the bone. Lots of blood. Was able to get 3- 4" skin closures on it and the compact gauze. Worked great. Plenty of material to wrap my hand several times. Very compact package.

If you are looking for a very compact gauze, this may be just the ticket. This small package is quite flat and would make an excellent addition to an etc kit. Much more compact than roll gauze. Good price and good product.
