Frequently Asked Questions

AllaQuix High Performance is a professional-grade hemostatic gauze made from medical-grade chitosan. It is designed to stop bleeding quickly and is suitable for individuals on blood thinners, those with bleeding disorders, and anyone needing rapid hemostasis.

Chitosan fibers in the gauze have a positive charge, attracting negatively charged red blood cells. This forms a seal over the wound, effectively stopping bleeding without relying on the body's clotting mechanism.

AllaQuix is safe for all ages and is ideal for people on blood thinners or with bleeding disorders. However, individuals with shellfish allergies should use caution as the product is derived from shellfish.

Clean the wound, apply AllaQuix directly, and apply pressure for 2-3 minutes. Secure with tape or bandage if needed. Remove within 24 hours.

For external use only. Do not use on visibly infected wounds. Seek medical help for persistent bleeding or medical emergencies.

AllaQuix High Performance has been cleared by the FDA for over-the-counter use in managing minor cuts, scalds, first-degree burns, abrasions, and lacerations.

Unlike ordinary gauze that merely absorbs blood, AllaQuix actively promotes clotting through its chitosan fibers, making it more effective in stopping bleeding quickly.

Yes, there are no age restrictions for AllaQuix.

To use, apply the gauze to the wound and apply pressure for 2-3 minutes or until bleeding stops. Secure with tape if necessary. To remove, gently soak the gauze with water or saline to avoid disturbing the clot, and ensure it's removed within 24 hours.

AllaQuix Lite is a hemostatic dressing made from calcium alginate, designed to stop bleeding quickly by promoting clotting and providing an optimal moist environment for wound healing.

When in contact with blood, calcium ions are exchanged with sodium ions in the blood, accelerating the clotting process. The alginate fibers also form a gel-like substance upon absorbing exudate, aiding in wound healing.

Yes, AllaQuix Lite is effective for individuals on anticoagulant medications, as it promotes clotting through its calcium content.

While AllaQuix Lite is designed for external wounds, it's advisable to use products specifically designed for nasal application, such as AllaQuix Nose Bleed, for nosebleeds.
