QuickClot Combat Gauze is effective in controlling bleeding due to its unique formulation that contains kaolin, a hemostatic agent that accelerates the body’s natural clotting process. When applied to a wound, the gauze promotes rapid clot formation by activating the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade, which helps to stabilize the clot and prevent further blood loss. Additionally, its gauze structure allows for easy packing into wounds, providing both pressure and a surface for clotting to occur effectively. This combination makes it a crucial tool in emergency and battlefield medical situations.

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.
