- Easy to Use – The dressing easily conforms to any wound site and doesn’t break down or fall apart under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size wounds can the 4×4 QuikClot EMS Dressing cover?
The 4 x 4 inch dressing is designed for small to moderate external wounds. For larger wound areas or deep cavity wounds, consider the rolled gauze format for better coverage.
Does this dressing cause a burning sensation?
No. Unlike earlier hemostatic products, the kaolin-based QuikClot EMS Dressing does not produce an exothermic reaction, so it will not cause a burning sensation when applied.
Can this be used by non-medical personnel?
Yes. The dressing is applied like a standard wound pad and is suitable for use by trained and untrained individuals in emergency first aid situations.
