| QuikClot® 1st Response™, QuikClot® ACS+™ & QuikClot® Sport™, Z-Medica’s Lifesaving Blood Clotting Products, Featured in Inaugural Special Issue WALLINGFORD, Conn., April 8, 2008 – QuikClot® brand hemostatic agent, the lifesaving product used by the U.S. military, law enforcement, paramedic and EMT professionals to stop bleeding and save lives, developed by Z-Medica Corporation (Z-Medica), has been selected for the first-ever “Top 100 Readers’ Choice” product showcase in EMS Product News. Three QuikClot products -- QuikClot® 1st Response™, QuikClot® ACS+™ and QuikClot® Sport™ -- made the new product picks, published in the Jan/Feb issue include EMS Product News is a bi-monthly magazine that provides information and data directed to EMS professionals, as well as extensive health and emergency care product guides. The magazine is published by Cygnus Business Media. “We are extremely proud to see QuikClot® products as the only hemostatic agent chosen by the readers of EMS Product News,” said Z-Medica CEO Ray Huey. “As our products continue to save lives around the world, we look forward to continuing to expand the use of this breakthrough technology.” QuikClot® is a breakthrough hemostatic agent. When applied directly into an open wound, the product acts to stop bleeding in multiple ways, by activating platelets and also by working in the coagulation cascade. Bleeding is stopped in minutes, whether it is severe and brisk arterial flow or slower venous bleeding. QuikClot® 1st Response™ and QuikClot® ACS+™, newer generations of the original Quik Clot®, are formulated into beads enclosed in a porous surgical fabric that, when introduced into a wound, take the shape of the injury, conforming to the wound and stopping bleeding. These produces give first responders and the military the ability to save lives by stopping severe bleeding right at the scene. QuikClot® Sport™ was developed with the general sports and adventure enthusiast in mind, particularly those whose outdoor activities carry the possibility of bleeding injury far from professional medical attention.
