QuikClot Combat Gauze
CoTCCC (Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care Committee) recommended
QuikClot Combat Gauze, with kaolin technology, is the CoTCCC hemostatic dressing of choice for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
QuikClot Combat Gauze is a sterile, 7.5 cm x 3.7 m, Z-folded, nonwoven gauze with X-ray indicator, and is impregnated with kaolin, an inorganic mineral that activates Factor XII, which in turn accelerates the body's natural clotting ability. This bleeding control solution creates a robust clot to control bleeding fast, potentially giving you more time to attend to other tasks as you move patients through the continuum of care.

· Intuitive to use, QuikClot Combat Gauze uses the same placement technique as standard gauze
· Vacuum sealed, compact, cube-sized packaging, and eight tear points expedite access to dressing for quicker application
· Contains an X-ray detectable strip for easy identification
