AllaQuix® High Performance Stop Bleeding Gauze (4x4)

Stop Bleeding Fast with AllaQuix® 4'x4' Hemostatic Gauze

Looking for a better way to control bleeding quickly and effectively? AllaQuix® High Performance Stop Bleeding Gauze (4'x4') is a professional-grade, medical-grade hemostatic gauze dressing designed to deliver fast, reliable bleeding control. Trusted by medical professionals, athletes, caregivers, and first responders.

What Is AllaQuix® Stop Bleeding Gauze?

AllaQuix® is an FDA-cleared, chitosan-based gauze pad engineered to stop bleeding fast. It is especially useful for people who have trouble clotting due to medical conditions or blood thinners. AllaQuix® is available without a prescription and indicated for:

• Minor cuts and abrasions
• Minor lacerations and surface wounds
• Minor scalds and first-degree burns

Available in multiple sizes: 2'x2', 4'x4', and 6'x6'.

Why Choose the 4'x4' Size?

The 4'x4' size is ideal for larger surface wounds, athletic injuries, or first aid kits in schools, offices, and workplaces. It offers broader coverage than the 2'x2' gauze while remaining compact enough for personal use and portability.

How Does AllaQuix® Work?

AllaQuix® works independently of the clotting cascade. The chitosan fibers in the gauze carry a positive charge that attracts negatively charged red blood cells. This action helps form a natural seal over the wound, allowing it to stop bleeding quickly and efficiently without relying on your body's normal clotting mechanism.

What Is Chitosan?

Chitosan is a well-established hemostatic agent derived from shellfish. It has been used by the U.S. Military, EMTs, and hospitals for over 20 years. AllaQuix® uses high-purity chitosan fibers—the same technology used in combat zones and high-risk emergency care settings.

Is It Safe for People with Shellfish Allergies?

Chitosan is derived from shellfish. However, the AllaQuix® production process removes animal proteins that may cause allergic reactions. A study published in Military Medicine found that chitosan bandages were well tolerated by patients with known shellfish allergies. Still, individuals with shellfish allergies should use caution and consult a healthcare professional. See more information on Chitosan and Shellfish Allergies.

Ideal for People on Blood Thinners or with Bleeding Disorders

AllaQuix® is designed for people who bleed easily, including those on anticoagulants (e.g., Coumadin, aspirin), or with bleeding conditions like hemophilia or von Willebrand disease. It’s also ideal for the elderly or individuals with fragile skin. Learn more about bleeding and blood thinners here.
