I have a new QuikClot Trauma Kit that I bought to keep in my car.   I have looked high and low on the Internet and can't find any information on the temperature range to properly store QuikClot at.   Does anyone know if keeping it in a car will ruin it, or if it is good to go?  I know we have a lot of paramedics,etc on here, so I figured I would ask here.

Thanks!

In a bag or in a trunk you are good to go.

Think about it. Our troops carry them inside of their IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) for their yearlong deployment overseas. Temperatures routinly go from balls hot to ice cold so I would like to think your good. Great investment IMO I have quite a few "blow out" kits myself  <––-prepper!

I got official word from QuikClot and there aren't any temperature requirements, however, they did say that you cannot have it in direct sunlight.  So keep it in a glovebox, trunk, etc.  

Thanks for the replies!

All the issue stuff is now the combat gauze and I have no idea the temperature ranges are on it, but I have some in my cars.  The ganules have and are being recalled.  I was told they had some embolising issues with granules actually entering the bloodstream and causing other issues, and so have recalled them.

Possible hijacking in progress here: Is there a place to get QuikClot/Combat Gauze around the metro area on the cheap? Also looking for some Israeli bandages if anyone knows a place that sells them. Sorry to divert.
