QuikClot EMS 4×4 Dressing is a sterile, soft white 4 in. x 4 in. nonwoven hemostatic dressing 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. Compared to standard gauze or other available hemostatic devices, QuikClot has superior results that indicate it can reduce blood loss and promote stronger clot formation. These results may help reduce exposure to blood and bloodborne pathogens, and potentially reduce decontamination time for equipment and vehicles.
