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.

Quickclot combat gauze is a sterile dressing that is ready-to-use from the package. It is a temporary means of controlling bleeding from a traumatic wound. One advantage is that it will not stick to the wound, so that any clotting stays in place when the bandage is removed. Kaolin is the active ingredient that decreases clotting time dramatically, and has been shown to allow earlier recovery in medical trials.
