Evidence & Training Rationale
QuikClot® Combat Gauze is CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic gauze using kaolin to accelerate clot formation. Studies and guideline use support gauze-based wound packing for severe extremity and junctional bleeding when a tourniquet is not possible or as adjunct after tourniquet.
- Mechanism: Kaolin activates Factor XII to speed intrinsic pathway—no exothermic reaction.
- Efficacy: Animal and field data show higher hemostasis vs. plain gauze in severe bleeding models when properly packed and held with pressure.
- Guideline use: TCCC specifies hemostatic gauze for compressible hemorrhage (especially junctional) with sustained pressure and reassessment.
- Training pathway: Stepwise wound packing, continuous pressure ≥3 min, and pressure dressing to maintain hemostasis; convert to plain gauze if directed by protocol.
Training rationale: Expose the wound, identify the source, pack to the base in layers, maintain firm pressure, secure with a pressure bandage, and reassess frequently. Document hemostatic use and time.
Guidelines reviewed: Jan 2024 • Use phrasing: “CoTCCC-recommended / aligned with TCCC guidance.”

What is SEAL Hemostatic Spray?
SEAL is an FDA-cleared hemostatic spray designed to rapidly stop bleeding. It works by forming a gel barrier over the wound upon contact, instantly halting blood flow while promoting the natural clotting process.
How does SEAL work?
SEAL uses a proprietary formula that reacts with blood to instantly form a protective gel barrier. This barrier physically stops bleeding while simultaneously activating the body's natural clotting factors, providing both immediate and sustainable hemostasis.
