Quickclot is a powder which is applied directly to the wound to prevent bleeding. Alternately it can be a quickclot infused gauze. A bandage is then wrapped around the site for protection and/or compression. The wrapper should be placed in the final outside fold of the dressing for easy identification of treatment rendered.

How do you apply a quick clot?
Unroll the quick clot gauze and apply as much as you need to the wound. Save the rest of the unused roll. There is a quick clot that comes in powder form and if you have that type you have to sprinkle it onto the wound until the blood clots then you have to apply a pressure bandage or sterile gauze on the wound ... not all militaries use that type of quick clot. Be certain not to get your bare hands or other germs in the wound before you use the quick clot. Douse the wound with water to clean out any debris BEFORE you use it if you have water available.
