Developed by Z-Medica Corp., QuikClot Sport and QuikClot Sport Silver are sponges made of porous fabric that contain tiny beads of the mineral Zeolite. When placed onto a wound, the QuikClot sponge conforms to the shape of the injury and rapidly stops even venous and arterial bleeding in under five minutes. By contrast, conventional methods for stopping bleeding, such as applying direct pressure, can take between 10 minutes to 30 minutes to clot blood, but by that time it can be too late.
