When should you use the quickclot?
Quikclot is a hemostatic clotting agent that assists in rapidly forming surface blood clots to slow or stop the loss of blood, thereby preserving blood pressure and keeping a victim from "bleeding out" before the arrival of emergency medical personnel. Medical authorities are divided on the appropriateness of Quikclot and similar products due to the tendency of such products to cause significant burns in the affected area. Generally, Quickclot should be applied in the form of a pressure dressing applied directly over the wound. This allows the hemostatic agent to contact the wound and begin the clotting process while simultaneously providing direct pressure. Early versions of Quikclot were granular and, when poured directly into a wound, tended to travel into veins and arteries and cause significant burning along the veins and arteries. Newer versions in the form of Quikclot Combat Gauze have largely mitigated these early problems.

How do you apply the quick clot combat gauze's?
There are several different kinds of hemostatic dressings, each of which requires specific training to use. For this question I am going to assume that you are asking about the QuikClot Combat Gauze in use by the US Army.Combat Gauze is a compressed gauze strip that is impregnated with the non-burning QuikClot hemostatic agent. It works by binding to blood and forming a large artificial clot that, when used correctly, seals a bleeding artery.Step-by-step:Apply strong, proximal (above) pressure to the affected limb. The goal is to cut off as much circulation as possible to the wound before applying the Combat Gauze. As an example, if you had a high groin wound with a bleeding femoral artery, try having a second person wrap both hands around the very top of the leg and squeeze as hard as they can.Use regular gauze to dry out the wound as much as possible. This is very important since the QuikClot clots as soon as it contacts blood. If you push it into a deep, bloody wound, you probably just wasted that Combat Gauze since the clot won't be formed at the actual cut on the damaged artery.Once the wound is dry(ish), stuff the Combat Gauze into the wound - all of it. Keep stuffing it down, layer after layer, as tight as you can.Once all the Combat Gauze is in, put strong direct pressure over the gauze for 2 minutes. This allows the clot to form up against the actual bleed site, cementing it closed.After two minutes, release the direct pressure. The wound should not bleed. If it does, the application failedBandage the wound thoroughly and tape the Combat Gauze package to the outer wrap.
