QuikClot

QuikClot is a lifesaver on the battlefield, the streets or even for major accidents. It can be easily applied by a medic, injured person, or a friend to immediately contain blood loss and create rapid hemostasis.

QuikClot is a breakthrough product that is compact, easy to carry, and simple to apply. It is currently the only product of its kind available and has been proven in Afghanistan. It is also a lifesaving addition to the medical kit carried by first responders. Because QuikClot is biologically and botanically inert, it can be safely left in the wound until the soldier is extracted and transported to a medical facility. It is easy to pack and simple to apply.

QuickClot is a medical breakthrough product that speeds the coagulation of blood. QuikClot has undergone rigorous testing that proved it is unsurpassed in safely and effectively stopping blood loss, the primary cause of death from severe bleeding injuries. QuikClot has received FDA 510(k) clearance. QuikClot is an inert substance that is safe to leave in the wound until bleeding has stopped. The injured person is stabilized until he or she can be transported to a medical facility.

It is effective and non-allergenic. It can be easily applied by military, police, fire, rescue and other non-medical personnel. It is already on the ground with U.S. troops in Afghanistan. In a recent study of hemostatic agents by the Office of Naval Research, only QuickClot achieved zero mortality.

QuikClot changes the definition of who can serve as a medical first responder. Now police, firefighters and other first responders the first on the scene of an accident, crime, or other emergency can provide immediate lifesaving treatment to the victims. QuikClot almost instantly stops the hemorrhaging of blood by accident victims. With massive bleeding contained, patients are kept alive until the EMT or paramedics arrive.

This product enables first responders to provide effective and safe treatment of traumatic bleeding injuries, stabilizing victims of accidents, gunshot wounds, or assault. Until now, they have been unable to provide effective aid and remained helpless until medical personnel arrived, often suffering psychologically as a result.

QuikClot is already making a difference in the lives of US troops serving in Afghanistan. Because QuikClot is the first product that can be soldier- or buddy-applied to stop traumatic bleeding right on the battlefield, it can drastically reduce the 24% of battlefield deaths that occur from bleeding, according to military statistics.

QuikClot, a granulated mineral substance whose exact composition is proprietary, offers a dramatic new solution to promoting hemostasis. Rather than adding elements to blood as other hemostatic agents do, it acts like a molecular sieve, rapidly separating fluids from blood. This concentrates the blood's clotting factors in the wound and almost immediately forms a strong, stable clot that stays in place until the patient can reach a physician's care.

Blood loss causes 50,000 civilian deaths a year in the United States alone, particularly from automobile accidents. By equipping first responders with a means to stop blood loss, QuikClot will dramatically improve the safety and survival of accident victims.
