Specially developed for Emergency Departments, The QuikClot ED Z-Fold Gauze helps manage bleeding quickly and efficiently, reducing time spent controlling haemorrhage in both ICU and emergency care settings.
QuikClot Z-Fold uses the same placement techniques as standard gauze, making it easy to integrate into your current protocols. The gauze is impregnated with kaolin, a hemostatic agent that activates Factor XII and accelerates the body’s natural clotting process.
Recommended Use:
- Wide range of lacerations
- Road rash
- Wounds and ulcers
- Postoperative wound dehiscence
- Mutilated amputations
- Skin tears
As Quikclot ED Z-Fold Gauze is designed for high use Emergency Departments, it carries a 2-year shelf life from the manufacturer.

How is QuikClot different from regular gauze?
Unlike standard gauze, QuikClot is impregnated with kaolin, which actively promotes blood clotting. This makes it much more effective for controlling severe or life-threatening haemorrhage.
How does QuikClot compare to Celox?
Both QuikClot and Celox are leading haemostatic agents. QuikClot uses kaolin to speed up the body’s natural clotting, while Celox uses chitosan, which works independently of the body’s clotting factors. Both are effective, and choice often comes down to agency preference and training.

Yes. It is specifically designed for packing into penetrating trauma such as gunshot wounds, stab injuries, and blast trauma, where bleeding control is critical.
