When bleeding control can’t wait, the ChitoGauze® XR PRO delivers rapid, reliable results in the most demanding conditions. Designed for military, tactical responders, and survival medics , this advanced gauze combines hemostatic performance with broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection —making it an essential tool for serious trauma care.

The chitosan-coated gauze enhances clotting outside the normal cascade, reducing the risk of re-bleeding in high-pressure injuries. Its conformable, z-folded format allows for precise packing, even in complex wound geometries, while the embedded x-ray detectable strip ensures visibility in follow-up care.

Whether you're dealing with penetrating trauma, deep lacerations, or gunshot wounds, ChitoGauze® XR PRO is field-proven to help you stop the bleed and stay in the fight.

"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"

TACTICAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Built by military medics. Makers of the U.S. Army's official combat tourniquet.

North American Rescue was founded in 1996 in Greer, South Carolina by seasoned military medics who saw the gaps in field medical equipment firsthand and built the kit to fill them. Their patented Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005, and is credited with cutting battlefield extremity-bleed mortality by 85%. NAR's gear is now standard issue across U.S. military units, tactical EMS, and law enforcement worldwide — chest seals, decompression needles, IFAKs, and the trauma kit that probably saved someone's life today.

Answers, straight up.

Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.

Shopping with SRO
How long does shipping take?

Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.

What’s your return policy?

30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.

Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.

What can’t I return?

Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.

Do you ship outside the contiguous US?

Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.

My package arrived damaged — what now?

Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.

Can I talk to a human before buying?

Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.

Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?

Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
