QuickClot controls bleeding by using a proprietary formulation that promotes rapid clotting when applied to a wound. It contains kaolin, a mineral that activates the body's natural coagulation pathways, enhancing platelet aggregation and accelerating the formation of a stable blood clot. By providing a physical barrier and facilitating the clotting process, QuickClot helps to stop bleeding quickly, especially in traumatic injuries. Its effectiveness makes it a crucial tool in emergency medical situations.
