Frequently Asked Questions
Why is QuikClot recommended for law enforcement?
QuikClot Combat Gauze is recommended for law enforcement because it is compact enough to carry on a duty belt, simple to deploy under stress, and clinically proven to stop severe hemorrhage rapidly in field conditions where advanced medical care may not be immediately available.
How should QuikClot Combat Gauze be applied?
Pack the gauze tightly and directly into the wound cavity, applying firm pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes. The kaolin in the gauze will activate the clotting cascade. Continue holding pressure until bleeding is controlled, then apply a pressure dressing over the packed wound.
What is the shelf life of QuikClot Combat Gauze?
QuikClot Combat Gauze has a shelf life of approximately 3 to 5 years when stored in the original vacuum-sealed packaging in a cool, dry environment. Check the printed expiration date on each package and rotate stock before expiration.
