Clark, NJ - QR (Quick Relief) Powder is an exciting product that is now being offered by Select Safety Sales on-line store. It has the ability to stop the bleeding immediately when sprinkled on a wound. A scab forms instantaneously and bleeding stops within seconds. QR Powder is a revolutionary powder bandage that can be used in lieu of a traditional bandage. QR Powder, when compared to a traditional bandage not only stops the bleeding quicker, but also allows the person inflicted to resume work immediately or to get to a health care facility with less blood loss. QR Powder is also available with an applicator to stop nosebleeds instantly without the need for cauterization. The possibilities are endless; an athlete on the field, a construction worker on the job or a child on the playground.

An open wound invites infection. The scab that forms from Quick Relief powder can protect a wound from infection and contamination. This is beneficial in this day and age where staph infections have become more prevalent. QR Powder also limits the exposure of others to the blood of the person that was cut by stopping the bleeding instantly. Protection from diseases like AIDS, hepatitis and other bloodborne illnesses is enhanced.

QR Powder is approved by the FDA and has been put in the same class as bandages and gauze that you would find in a first aid kit. QR Powder is not introduced into the bloodstream, so it is not metabolized by the body. It consists of a non toxic mixture of potassium salt and hydrophilic polymer.

Select Safety Sales is a distributor of QR Powder which was developed by Biolife. "It's a great product to provide to my customers. I see it to be beneficial in the industrial trades and construction industry where workers are at risk for cuts and lacerations," says Janemarie Kane, managing member of Select Safety Sales. "A laceration or nosebleed that is stopped immediately can save a worker or athlete a visit to a doctor or emergency room which results in saving a company or team time and money."
