QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, 3.5 by 3.5 Inches

The QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge puts blood-clotting power in the palm of your hand. Zeolite is a chemically inert material that speeds coagulation of blood, resulting in a stable clot that stops bleeding. The QuikClot zeolite beads are contained in a sterile, non-adherent mesh bag so that it can be easily applied by anyone and can be cleanly removed from the wound by professional medical providers. QuikClot is safe to use and is a low heat formula that will not burn the skin. You simply apply QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge over bleeding areas to speed clotting and treat injuries while waiting for advanced medical help. “Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Typically, the immediate deployment of law enforcement is required to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to victims. Because active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation.” This QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge will enable you to assist in the treatment of injured persons before medical help is able to infiltrate the scene.
