No IFAK or trauma kit is complete without proper wound dressing.
QuikClot® Combat Gauze™ is a sterile, hemostatic bandage used to temporarily control bleeding. It's impregnated with kaolin, a mineral that aids in the clotting process without producing heat. It stops blood flow. It's inert. It's non-allergenic.
The material can be fitted to any size or shape wound (including penetrating wounds). Plus, it is easily removed once clotting has taken place.
It comes in a 3-inch by 4-yard "Z-fold" easy-tear pack for efficient storage.
These pack down extremely tight and give you a higher capacity for hemostatic gauze in your IFAK.

In supply while others were out
These were priced right and actually in stock while others were backordered.
Accept No Imitations
Legit product, 18+ month expiration* timeline lot codes, no fuss or nonsense about 'authorized user' only, or trying to sell you the sub-par clotting sponges. Don't simp for the kits you find in stores, build your own from the proven components that have been proven in combat and rescue scenarios.
*Widely (and I mean widely) speculated to only "expire" because of FDA regulations. Will serve you well for years if stored without wild temperature swings, so swap out that old QuikClot you keep in your car kit ASAP... You DO have a car kit, right?
Great deal, good to have
Good to have packed away in your tactical fanny pack in case you spring a leak
Comforting.
Rather than doing a Kentucky thumb, I'll shove these in my hole. Not as badass,but the nurse might be impressed.
Not sure about that "5 year shelf life"
As the title suggests, the one I got is closer to 2,5 years 'best before' date. But I got it for cheaper here than on other sites. Even after paying for shipping+import tax.
Otherwise no complaints.
