I want to buy 2 Quikclot Combat Gauze z-fold. . Can I be assured of an August 2017 expiration? Or can I get the expiration date before purchase?

Depends on who you buy from. If you're willing to pay the $40+ you most likely will get the full shelf life. The lower priced items not necessarily. However when I got mine with only three months of life thru replaced it with no questions asked with one that had 2+ years on it. Bottom line is even out of date it will work. It just loses some effectiveness. I wouldn't throw it out, just use it first.

I have a box I bought in August 2014 it expires in July 2020... My suggestion would be to ask to person or persons you plan to buy from when they expire?

The earliest form of QuickClot was a powdered formulation which is no longer manufactured or distributed. If you run across any of it, do NOT use it as it is most assuredly past it's expiration date. With the gauze products the Kaolin is embedded in the fabric and is much neater and more effective to use. It is intended for wound packing in order to control bleeding, with the general idea being to pack this product into a wound site and directly to the source of the hemorrhage (i.e., an artery or vein) where the gauze serves as the delivery device and acts as a structural staunch. Bottom line: this an amazing addition to a field trauma kit, but should not be used in the powdered/crystallized form.

Bought mine a while back. They usually run about a year out. The chemical may not work if expired but the gauze will still work if placed in a wound without any ill effects.

I will guess that there is no expiration date for lancets. You should be more concerned that you are getting real Accu-Chek lancets. The last time I ordered lancets I got an inferior product in a unmarked plastic bag. I am sure they were not from Accu-Chek. Amazon should screen the products they sell.

Expiration date is always 12+ months. We also provide the black code key when requested. See condition notes for MEDxSURG.

Generally you won't unless the seller says what it is or gives you a minimum time till it expires. I have purchased for years and no problems. And the buyers rating of the supplier will tell you if there have been problems with the expiration date.

My box is long gone, so if there was an expiration I don't know. I usually just buy from a good company (favorite is lovelyskin.com when they have a sale, so I am assured that I have at least one year to use it (and they aren't selling me something old or out of date when I get it).

Hello, I purchased this item from AJ Wholesale. At the time it was advertised as expiration date after 2020. I bought these in January 2014 and the expiration date was August 2020. I can not speak for the other vendors as I did not see the expiration date advertised. I would check with current offering and see if it is still advertised that way. If yes, then buy from them. They represented their offering correctly.

I am not sure what you are asking? there is an expiration date on each package and it is different on each one. I would not hesitate to use un expired ones as they work very good and are easy to use. If they are longer than you need as the wound heals you cut them to size. I have gotten then down to 1/4 the length they come in.

There should be an expiration date on the box and no doubt your box will have a different expiration than mine. Apparently, what I have right now is a different brand, but it has an expiration date of Aug 2015, but that means nothing as far as your box is concerned. Apparently, as long as the tubes are sealed, the product lasts quite a while even though it has no preservatives. I use an individual tube for two applications. About half the tube for one application, cap it securely, and the other half for the next application. Even if I don't completely use up the contents of the tube, I throw it out the 2nd day once it's been opened.

That's not a question that can be answered by the general public. I never knew there was one but I know that if there is it would be on the product itself, or on the bottom of the box. I looked at the box I started this week, which I've had for 4 or 5 months, the date is on the bottom of the box and it says 2019/01. But if you use it as directed it will be gone in 3 months max anyway. You just have to make the decision of if you want to buy it on line or you want to go to the store and check the date. If you bought it on line and it was expired or going to expire before the 3 months was up, I'm sure Amazon would refund your money.

I purchased a pack in October 2015. They expire August 2020. BTW, I compared the ones I just purchased to some Military spec one I purchased a year ago. They appear identical, they weigh the same, as far as I can tell, they are identical, except for the expiration date, which appears to be a year or two shorter for the mil spec ones. This is common practice, as the military often stores things in bad conditions, so to ensure they work as specified (time, brightness, etc), the contractors shorten the GUARANTEED lifespan.
