Quickclot Combat Gauze Hemostatic Dressing

Two things the legacy listing carried have been left off this page. It stated a pressure hold of “a minimum of 3 minutes — 5 minutes for suspected arterial injury” without saying whether that figure came from the Z-Medica instructions for use or from the TCCC Guidelines; follow the IFU in the package and your own protocol, and do not take a dwell time from a product page. It also carried an extended argument about hemostatic choice in casualties on anticoagulants, citing a 2023 transfusion-medicine study. That is a clinical-selection claim, not a product specification, and it belongs in training and protocol rather than on a listing. Latex content is not published on the legacy listing and has not been assumed.

Combat and tactical medics — the issue hemostatic dressing for junctional and deep-cavity hemorrhage at point of injury. EMS and fire-rescue operating under a wound-packing protocol for bleeds a tourniquet cannot reach. Law enforcement and active-threat teams building penetrating-trauma capability into a patrol or IFAK loadout. Trained civilians and range officers pairing a hemostatic with a limb tourniquet.

Scope of practice. Wound packing is a hands-in-the-wound skill. It is taught in TCCC, TECC and public bleeding-control courses, and it is performed within your training, credential and local protocol. This listing describes a dressing; it is not a procedural guide, not a substitute for hands-on instruction, and it does not tell you when packing is indicated. Removal is a surgical-team task at definitive care, not a field task.
