Since the Civil War, the leading cause of death on the battlefield has been loss of blood from traumatic wounds. This alarming fact made the military a natural first market for the breakthrough hemostatic agent QuikClot^® - the first product to rapidly stop severe arterial and venous bleeding outside the operating room setting. In fact, the United States Navy and Marine Corps performed testing that led to its clearance by the FDA and its use in Afghanistan and Iraq. QuikClot^® is deployed in the Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) of every U.S. Marine.

QuikClot^® is a proven lifesaver on the battlefield. It can be easily applied by a medic, wounded combatant, or any serviceman or woman to immediately contain blood loss and achieve hemostasis.

In addition to the United States military, many other governments and militaries have approved QuikClot^® brand hemostatic agent for use.

In addition to its ease of use by anyone who can tear open a package and follow simple instructions, QuikClot^® products for military use are long lasting and rugged enough to withstand battlefield conditions and extremes of weather.
