The Dutch military has chosen QuikClot Z-fold and QuikClot XL as hemostatic dressing for the soldiers with a medical (additional) job, like CLS'ers, Special Forces Medic, Military Nurses and Military Doctors. For these different positions within the military QuikClot Combat Gauze will be part of the standard equipment.
Also the special police forces, many ambulance services and Fire Brigades in the Netherlands have been using QuikClot z-fold for several years now and have successfully used it on several occasions.
The material, pliable and familiar to medical personnel, can be fitted to any size or shape wound – including penetrating wounds. It iseasily removed once clotting has taken place. QuikClot Gauze™ comes in rolls four yards long by three inches wide.
The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care recently recommended QuikClot Gauze™ as the first line hemostatic product.
