QuikClot

QuikClot is a brand of hemostatic wound dressing that contains an agent that promotes blood clotting.

[2] Following the September 11 attacks, the US armed forces conducted a study comparing different antihemorrhagic technologies, in which QuikClot received the best score.

[citation needed] The original formulation of the product contained the active ingredient zeolite, which promoted blood clotting.

Newer zeolite formulas come pre-hydrated, which produce less heat, and can be used more safely to pack wounds and stop hemorrhage.

Later, QuikClot was formulated using zeolite beads, which promoted clotting directly through activation of the coagulation cascade.
