(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 19, 2015 ) Clearwater, Florida -- The QuikClot Advanced Clotting Sponge, part of the ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe, has been shown to stop bleeding at the site of injury within minutes of application. The QuikClot sponge uses an advanced hemostatic (clotting) agent to induce clotting at point of contact. This agent has been approved for use by the US Department of Defense and is in active use in the field with all four branches of the US Armed Forces. QuikClot was designed to handle battlefield trauma and stem or stop serious injury hemorrhaging.
"This advanced clotting sponge has been in use around the world," says COO, Anna Loehwing. "It's really made for a bad injury, so we expect our users to buy this kit and keep it with their larger set of first aid gear. It's very compact, and contains gloves, gauze and the QuikClot sponge -- only what you need to handle a serious bleeding emergency on the scene."
Blood loss is the greatest risk to life after any CPR (breathing/heart) emergencies have been handled. Most first aid kits are designed to treat minor injuries, but are not equipped to deal with serious, traumatic hemorrhaging. The QuikClot Advanced Clotting sponge is fast to deploy and easy to use with instructions on the pack. It can be applied quickly and acts to stop bleeding immediately. Clotting usually begins instantly and blood flow is noticeably reduced within minutes.
"Having one of these on hand with your usual kit could save a life," says Ms. Loehwing.
The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is available on Amazon and comes with a money back guarantee.
