AllaQuix® Stop Bleeding Fast Gauze
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AllaQuix High Performance Stop Bleeding Gauze?
AllaQuix® High Performance is a professional-grade hemostatic gauze dressing made from medical-grade chitosan. It is FDA-cleared and designed to stop bleeding fast, even for people on blood thinners or with bleeding disorders.
How does AllaQuix® work?
The chitosan fibers in the gauze carry a positive charge that attracts negatively charged red blood cells. This creates a natural seal over the wound and stops bleeding without relying on the body's natural clotting ability.
Who can use AllaQuix®?
AllaQuix® is safe for all ages. It is ideal for:
- People taking anticoagulants or blood thinners
- Individuals with bleeding or clotting disorders like hemophilia
- Anyone needing rapid bleeding control
Note: People with shellfish allergies should use caution as chitosan is shellfish-derived. See more here.
How do you apply AllaQuix® Stop Bleeding Gauze?
- Clean the wound.
- Apply AllaQuix® directly to the bleeding site.
- Press firmly for 2–3 minutes.
- Secure with tape, bandage, or AllaQuix® Wrapid as needed.
- Remove within 24 hours.
Are there any warnings or precautions?
Yes:
- For external use only
- Do not use on infected wounds
- Seek medical help for persistent or severe bleeding, or in emergencies
Is AllaQuix® FDA approved?
Yes. AllaQuix® High Performance is FDA-cleared for over-the-counter use in managing:
- Minor cuts and abrasions
- Minor scalds and burns
- First-degree burns
- Surface wounds and lacerations
How is AllaQuix® different from regular gauze?
Regular gauze simply absorbs blood. AllaQuix® is a chitosan-based hemostatic gauze that actively helps form a clot, making it significantly more effective at stopping bleeding quickly.
Can AllaQuix® be used on children?
Yes, AllaQuix® is safe for use on children and adults. There are no age restrictions.
How should AllaQuix® be removed?
To remove:
- Soak the dressing with clean water or saline
- Gently peel it away without disturbing the clot
- Ensure it's removed within 24 hours
Can AllaQuix® be cut to fit?
Yes. AllaQuix® is soft, flexible, and can be cut or rolled to fit any wound size. If sterility is important, use sterile scissors or tools when cutting.
Is AllaQuix® effective for people on blood thinners?
Yes. AllaQuix® works independently of the body’s clotting system, making it ideal for people on anticoagulant therapy or blood thinners like Coumadin or aspirin.
