How it works:
The Key Ingredient: KAOLIN – A Small Mineral with Huge Stopping Power
How an inert mineral can create a powerful, natural, and stable clot.
QUIKCLOT’s third generation of hemostasis products, each specially engineered for use by healthcare professionals, is based on a naturally occurring, inert mineral, kaolinite. Each of the gauze-based hemostasis products is impregnated with kaolin, a white alumina silicate that has been known for decades to activate blood clotting in vitro. When exposed to human plasma, kaolin activates clotting Factors XI and XII, mobilizing the body’s natural coagulation cascade. Known to foster platelet adhesion at the sound site, kaolin contributes to the formation of an active, natural, and stable clot.
When QUIKCLOT hemostatic dressings go into contact with blood in and around a wound, they quickly assimilate the smaller water molecules found in the blood, leaving behind, in the wound, a highly concentrated mix of larger platelets and clotting factor molecules. This process along with kaolin’s key surface chemistry, promote extremely rapid and natural coagulation and prevents severe blood loss.
Within minutes, QUIKCLOT hemostatic dressings create a natural, stable, and powerful clot without containing any animal or human proteins or botanicals.
