QuikClot EMS Dressings

QuikClot EMS Hemostatic Dressing is a kaolin hemostatic gauze used by EMTs, paramedics, law enforcement, and community responders for rapid external hemorrhage control at the scene, in ambulances, and during transport. The soft, nonwoven gauze is impregnated with kaolin to speed the body’s clotting cascade when direct pressure is applied, helping control moderate to severe bleeding in minutes. It arrives in compact, tear-open packaging so providers can deploy it quickly in high-stress situations and pack wounds that are irregular or deep.

Choose the 4 x 4 inch pad for surface wounds, the 3 inch x 4 foot rolled gauze for packing and wrapping, or the EMS kit that combines pads with a rolled format for versatile prehospital care. Because QuikClot EMS is non-exothermic and latex free, it is safe on intact surrounding skin and suitable for a wide range of patients when rapid control of bleeding is critical.
