Frequently Asked Questions
How does QuikClot Combat Gauze work?
QuikClot Combat Gauze is impregnated with kaolin, a naturally occurring inorganic mineral. When kaolin contacts blood, it activates Factor XII in the clotting cascade, dramatically accelerating the formation of a stable blood clot at the wound site.
What is the difference between Combat Gauze XL and standard Combat Gauze?
Combat Gauze XL provides a larger amount of hemostatic gauze for packing deep, extensive wounds. The standard version is suitable for most tactical hemorrhage situations, while the XL version is recommended for larger wounds requiring more packing material.
Is QuikClot Combat Gauze safe for internal use?
QuikClot Combat Gauze is designed for external use to pack wounds and control hemorrhage. It produces no exothermic reaction, making it safer than earlier hemostatic products. Always follow your medical training and protocols when applying hemostatic agents.
