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 should you use the QuickClot combat gauze per SABC?

To use QuickClot combat gauze per the Standardized American Battlefield Care (SABC) guidelines, first ensure the scene is safe and assess the casualty for life-threatening bleeding. Apply direct pressure to the wound, then pack the QuickClot gauze directly into the wound, ensuring it fills the cavity and controls bleeding. Once the gauze is in place, maintain pressure for a few minutes, then secure the gauze with a bandage. Monitor the casualty for signs of shock and be prepared to manage their airway and breathing as needed.
