Hmm, is a vendor's website really the most objective evaluation?
Independent studies have shown that chitosan impregnated gauzes work faster than kaolin based products. Probably an important performance criteria - doesn't require the 2-3 minutes of constant pressure and when you are being shot at that could be critical. And as I said, I like the mechanism of action for chitosan over kaolin, but then again I'm a science geek.
