 A 'must have' item for first aid kits.Jul 07, 2010
By Dr. J. Yoni
When a fellow backpacker slipped while carrying his pack saw, he cut his upper thigh pretty badly. Although no major vessels were involved, the wound bled profusely. This QuikClot product was applied to the wound with direct pressure and then bound in place. While the wound was not extraordinarily severe, the injured man was quite upset by the amount of blood he appeared to be losing prior to application of the dressing. Once the QuikClot product was in place and a thick sterile pad secured over it, only a small amount of blood was visible. This added tremendously to reassure the injured man that he was not in great danger from bleeding. Others in our party assisted the man back to the trail head and he was taken to a local hospital where the laceration was sutured.
This product is an absolute 'must have' item in any aid kit for people working or enjoying the out of doors in locations distant from immediate medical care. This order was a replacement for the product I used. As an aside recommendation, QuikClot Sport is very effective when used in conjunction with an 'Israeli-style' combat dressing (easily applied by one person or the injured victim).

Should be part of every medical kitApr 15, 2010

Quick clot is a natural enzyme that starts the blod clotting process in the body. Our bodies have small amounts of it that are there naturally, except for hemophiliacs. Quick clot is simply concentrated to a high level like vitamin supplements.
The US Army & Marines have chosen quick clot to stop battlefield bleeding and loss of blood volume and pressure. If it's good enough for the government, and been extensively tested by them then its ready to go for me. It's a natural product that does the job without nasty chemicals.
You should also have a roll of gauze to go with the quick clot to hold it in place. Pressure is an important part of stopping bleeding but all you get in the package is a 5x5" square that is embedded with crystals of the quick clot agent - once they get bloody and wet they go to work right away promoting clotting. You need gause to hold the quick clot in place over the wound especially during the first 10 minutes (the clot will form in 5 minutes based on medical testing on the femeral artery being sliced open to insert a port to run a catheter up to the heart. The quick clot is put over the hole in the artery and held in place for 5 minutes, then removed with a nice clot formed over the artery. Keep in mind the arteries have the higher pressure and are harder to stop bleeding because they are high pressure blood vessels.
Finally, it's been shown that an individual can apply and secure a quick clot bandage by themselves, effectively self-treating a major blead without outside help. That's impressive, and that's why the quick clot and the gause roll are the first two items in my medical kit when I am out in no mands land.
It comes in 25g and 50g sizes, the 50g is a better deal and bigger. Get this one.

just in caseSep 30, 2010
By R. Schneider
I purchased this to add to my first aid kit that I keep in my car and to give two to my children for first aid kits in their cars.
I hope that I never have to use it. I purchased awhile back the original quickclot granuals that the military used for stopping blood loss from battlefield wounds. An EMT I talked to said that the newer version which is in a sponge doesn't create as much damage to flesh when used in an emergency. He also said that in a sever blood loss situation that is the least of the accident victims concerns. That conversation is why I purchased these. I still have the sealled granuals in my first aid kit, but this is what I will use first in a severe accident.
I hope that I never have to use them. The only negative (which is also a positive) is that there is a limit on the number that you can purchase because of high military demand for the product.
These can be lifesavers.

Simply Unbelievable!! A Must For Any First Aid Kit!!Mar 26, 2011
By OrangeCrush
"Still shooting with Film!"
I have to be honest, I had never heard of QuikClot before....well, that is until last summer when a buddy of mine did a serious wipe on his bike at Slickrock. I am not sure what happened as I didn't personally see it as he was in back of me however I did hear it and it sounded bad. When I got to him he seemed to be ok, except for a big gash on his left leg. It was like 3 inches long and it was pretty deep. To say it was bleeding profusely would be an understatement. Within just 45 or so seconds he had a large pool of blood forming under his leg. I went for my first aid kit and he immediately asked me if I had any QuikClot. I told him I didn't and that I had never heard of it. He said to grab his first aid kit instead, which I did. Sure enough I opened it up and there was the bag of QuickClot. I opened it, handed it to him and he immediately applied it to his leg. By the time we had his lag wrapped up the bleeding had already significantly slowed. I was absolutely blown away and had never seen anything like it. My friend then told me that he had been introduced to it in a similar way and now considers it a vital component to his first aid kit. Needless to say I have since made it a vital component for my first aid kit. It really has to be seen to be believed. Its hands down one of the best things you can have in an emergency first aid kit. Things like this can literally save lives and you dont have to have clotting problems to be able to benefit from a product like this.
Do yourself a favor and immediately add a package of QuikClot to your first aid kit. It like magic in a bag in regards to stopping bleeding. Its nothing short of ingenious and again should be mandatory in all first aid kits.
5 Stars!!!

Hope you never need it, get it in case you doApr 22, 2010

This product stops bleeding cold. Right Now. Note- it is expensive and a little messy, so don't go using it for everyday cuts, those where the bleeding is easily controled by pressure. But this could very well save a life, especially out in the field.
Get one of the large packs and keep it at home in your 1st Aid kit, and one of the smaller packs to carry in your beltpouch or daypack, along with a few Band-Aids and the usual stuff.
Most first aid kits do not contain this product as it is too expensive, so you'll have to add it yourself.
What is handy with this product is that you can apply it to youself in a pinch.
