Controls moderate to severe blood loss by promoting coagulation

What is QuikClot®, how does it work, and why use it?

QuikClot® 1st Response™ acts as a selective molecular sponge. It is biologically inert, inorganic, and traps water molecules by hydrogen bond formation in a molecular cage.
QuikClot® causes rapid localized coagulation and the formation of a stable blood clot in a variety of wounds. It does not absorb into the body, and is safe to leave in the wound until further medical care is available.
QuikClot® controls bleeding faster than conventional methods.
