QuikClot EMS Rolled Gauze is specifically designed for pre-hospital responders who need a reliable, easy-to-use hemostatic solution to manage moderate to severe external bleeding. The gauze is impregnated with kaolin, an inactive mineral that immediately activates Factor XII upon contact with blood, dramatically speeding up the body’s own clotting mechanisms. This rapid hemostasis can help control hemorrhage within seconds, potentially reducing total blood loss and giving care providers critical additional time to focus on patient assessment and transport.
The soft, nonwoven construction conforms neatly to wound cavities and contours, allowing for thorough packing of irregular or deep wounds. Its white color provides clear visual feedback of bleeding control as you apply pressure and wrap the dressing. Because QuikClot EMS Rolled Gauze utilizes the identical placement technique as standard rolled gauze, there is no need for additional training—or a steep learning curve—during high-stress scenarios.
In addition to fast clot formation, this hemostatic gauze may help limit the responder’s exposure to blood and bloodborne pathogens by reducing ongoing bleeding. With fewer dressings required to achieve hemostasis, vehicle and equipment decontamination time can also be minimized. QuikClot EMS Rolled Gauze is individually packaged, sterile, and boasts a three-year shelf life, ensuring it remains ready for deployment on ambulances, in rescue kits, and on disaster response teams.
By integrating seamlessly into existing bleeding-control protocols and offering proven performance in the field, QuikClot EMS Rolled Gauze empowers pre-hospital professionals to manage critical hemorrhage swiftly and confidently, improving both patient safety and operational efficiency.
