I saw this recently on Craig Cameron’s RFD-TV weekly program. Seems like a really handy thing to carry in your saddle bag and trailer.
From their website:
“EquineClot® brand hemostatic agent, manufactured in the USA by Z-MEDICA Corporation, saves lives by rapidly stopping bleeding. It is composed of an inert mineral substance that meets a variety of medical needs and applications, and changes the way we look at bleeding by giving first responders and others an additional tool that can save a life.
“For the first time in history, we’ve put the ability to quickly stop bleeding from superficial wounds, minor cuts and abrasions into the hands of anyone who can tear open a package and follow a few simple directions. In addition to products for emergency response, we continue to innovate and deliver life saving products – for the soldier, fireman, first responder, law enforcement officer, surgeon and now for horses. When blood loss is the concern, QuikClot® is the answer.
“Introducing EquineClot™ Trauma Gauze™ hemostatic dressing, a new and innovative equine health product. Designed for a wide variety of equestrian applications, EquineClot™ Trauma Gauze™ is the key to controlling any external traumatic bleeding.
“EquineClot™ is available in an easy to use, sterile, non-woven gauze roll that conforms easily to wounds. It works well in any bleeding situation from minor to traumatic.
