When traumatic bleeding starts, you don't have time to get to a hospital. You need a product
that will stop bleeding fast, but regular gauze bandages only mop up blood and tourniquets
put limbs at risk. For your first response needs, turn to QuikClot, the hemostatic gauze of the United States military.
Independent studies by both the Naval Medical Research Center and the Army Institute for Surgical
Research have shown QuikClot to be number one in safety and effectiveness. The United States Special
Operations Command has included QuikClot in its Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines for first line
treatment of life-threatening hemmorhage. TCCC is used by all branches of the United States military
to properly train non-medics to handle preventable causes of combat deaths. Through this training,
soldiers have used QuikClot to save many lives in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Here's how it works: the gauze contains kaolin, a mineral that absorbs water molecules in the blood
and leaves behind the larger platelet and clotting molecules. By concentrating these molecules at
the wound site, QuikClot rapidly accelerates the body's natural coagulation process.
AFMO supplies QuikClot Combat Gauze, First Response, Sport, and Sport Silver. QuikClot Combat Gauze
is the original battlefield-proven material. It looks like and can be used safely in place of
regular gauze, but only QuikClot Combat Gauze can stop severe hemorrhaging. QuikClot First Response,
Sport, and Sport Silver are individually packaged sponges for quick, convenient use when time is of
the essence. Sport Silver even has ionic silver to prevent bacteria and fungi when help may be a long time coming.
Unlike other hemostatic agents, QuikClot stays cool and is easy to use on any size wound. The gauze or sponges
can be safely left on until medical help can be reached and they are easily and cleanly removed.
QuikClot is a must-have for any first aid kit. First responders use QuikClot to stop severe bleeding at the
scene of the crime, accident, or fire; hikers, climbers, and hunters need QuikClot in case of an emergency
when they're out on the trail and far from help. QuikClot is a quality product you can't wait to buy until
you need it: our soldiers depend on QuikClot and so can you.
