I take a closer look at QuikClot Combat Gauze. Facebook ► / skinnymedicyoutube Google ► plus.google.com/+SkinnyMedic/ Twitter ► / skinnymedic Store ► shop.skinnymedic.com
Thank you for the info; I now own two pouches. My husband's skin is thin and subject to damage. A local EMT warned me about the powder (not for amateurs), so I'm very glad to hear about this product and how to use it. Compression first -- and don't look! Thank you very much.
Thanks for opening this thing. I know you should always open and practice with each item in your trauma kit, but I couldn't bear to waste a ~$45 packet! Now I know what to expect and am refreshed on proper use.
Thanks for opening one. Excellent video. One caution I would have would be that if the one doesn't stop the bleeding, imho, I'd not remove the first gauze but, instead, tightly pack in another one. The first may just be overwhelmed. Removing it might dislodge the start of any clotting. Otherwise, pack it in, hold direct pressure and then bandage. Thanks for another great video.
I had no idea that's what the blue line was for. Learned something today thanks!! Also thanks for popping open one of these high dollar items and teaching
Thanks for the video! I have my lvl 3 first aid and have seen quick clot around for awhile but still dont have any in my kit. Ill be adding some once I can afford it
Great videos Skinny. I have several of these that are expired. Would you throw them out or keep them in case you needed them, as expired is better then nothing when in a pinch. By the way, I do keep current ones in my trauma kit for the range.
In Europe the Celox products seem to be a bit more cost effective, would you suggest a sachet or plunger of these granules as a cheap way of adding a haemostatic agent to a kit, or are they best avoided in favour of more traditional methods? Thank you sir, loving the chanel!
Thanks Skinny. What is the follow up treatment once you've stemmed the bleeding in the field? What if we are two weeks travel from the nearest medical clinic? Or, in a worst case scenario, cannot make it to a clinic in the foreseeable future...
Great video, thanks for the demo! I have some of that in my kit, but I hope I never have to use it. And I pray to God that it never needs to be used on me, because holy crap that's got to hurt! Better than dying though.
Ok couple questions. Is this a good product for preppers? Are there blood clot/stroke risks with using it? I an extended situation when you can't get to a hospital when would you remove it, clean and redress the wound? I talked a bit with an army surgeon so I wanted you take and information.
Yes this is a good product for preppers. If you are around sharp objects you can injury your self. Yes there a risk of blood clots. BUT, you are using this product because you think you may bleed to death, so you have to weigh the risk. QC can stay in for up to 24hrs with out a problem. In a grid down situation I would leave it in, then rinse the wound, the redress the wound. You would need to keep changing the dressing so the would does not build up infection.
I’m currently bleeding to death from an artery alone on a farm with no phone reception. So I googled this and have been watching how to pack arterial wounds.
