QuikClot ACS™
QuikClot ACS™ (Advanced Clotting Sponge), a formulation and delivery system subsequent to the original QuikClot®, consists of beads of QuikClot® contained in a porous surgical fabric. The sponge is packed into the wound and allows the activated beads to come into direct contact with the bleeding. It is extensively used by all branches of the U.S. military, by Homeland Security and first responders.
This product has features that improve its ease of use in certain scenarios. For example:
- It can be directly applied to high-pressure bleeding wounds.
- It can be applied from any angle.
- It will not blow around in a windy environment.
- It is simple to remove when the victim has been moved to the hospital setting.
QuikClot ACS™ comes packaged with two 1.75-ounce sponges (50g) in four-ply packaging. It is also available in a Z-Medica TraumaPak™, along with a pressure bandage and high volume gauze.
