QuikClot Combat Gauze is an advanced hemostatic agent widely used by military professionals, first responders, and emergency medical teams to control severe bleeding in trauma patients. Its unique formulation promotes rapid clotting, quickly stopping blood loss and stabilising patients for further treatment.
