When should you use the QuikClot Comabt Gauze?
Asked by Wiki User
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.
When it is not practical or feasible to apply the Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT)
