Does this bandage/compress have a clotting agent (ie. like Quikclot, Celox, etc.) in the fibers? Thanks,-John

No, it does not. I believe those are referred to as Israeli wound dressings. I have been looking for those also and they do not seem to be easy to find for less than about $24 a piece.

I think it is compression only after looking at the pkg. ,we got an Israeli kit that has bandages & coagulants

The clotting agent is embedded in the gauze...should be no problem...in fact if you put the remainder in plastic bag it will last for months unlike other clotting agent gauze.

my guess is that the "carrier" ingredients give it a better viscosity to adhere to the wound. A liberal application of honey only would need a dressing for sure as would melt away from wound rapidly due to body heat.

I've purchased Xeroform Petroleum Gauze many times from this and other sellers for my mom's leg wound. Yes, I believe it is all the same. Only thing different is packaging. Some gauze comes in heavier-foil pack which are easier to seal/close while others are in a flimsier package which don't stay closed very well. But actual product - the gauze - is the same. Hope this helps!

It is a compress/gauze infused with quick clot powder. It acts like a pressure bandage.

QuikClot is a one-time use item. It's a blood-absorbing sponge. If you ever need to use it, it's worth the cost you paid.

Don't quite understand the question. It's Typical Velcro so one soft fiber strands and the other is the hard side. Nothing unusual & works well.

I use Vetericyn on everything and everyone. I prefer the liquid version better than the gel. The gel is a little clumpy and those clumps slide off areas that are not flat. So, it just depends what you are using it on. I think either is fine and the gel may work better for certain types of wounds.

Yes, the gauze is kaolin-laced (a clotting agent) roller gauze with a X-Ray strip (can be easily identified by X-Ray imaging). In gauze form though it is more practical to be stuffed into wounds, making it better than the sponge as well as the preferred form by the US Army. (-A US Army 68W Combat Medic)

It does come with quick clots, two if I remember correctly. There's also 1 tournakit, which I replaced with a better one.

Hi Leon ore Furst,This kit comes fully equipped with bandages, gauze, CPR pocket face shield, warming blanket, scissors, pen light, instant cold packs, gloves. It brings the necessary for sport events or in light severe accidents. I recommend that you buy fluids such as alcohol , water, and other emergency fluids need to clean wounds . There is no flares or warning triangles and such .

I don't know. I ordered the ones that were the size of the wound. They are medicated and if you cut the package, I don't know how that would affect the part that was not immediately applied to the wound. They do work very well though.

If you have a good first aid bag definitely add quick clot. The other stuff in the bag is normal fist aid equipment. The Trauma Kit is just something small to carry with you.

I know this is an old question, but celox now makes a plunger kit specifically for gunshot and stab wounds. If the 35 gram pack won't do it, your probably dead. Also, you mention severed appendages/limbs. A severed limb, you need a good tourniquet, end of story. The celox may help some, but it wont stop that much bleeding. It may help with a finger, but it wont be able to be used on it's own you still need dressing and pressure for that kind of wound.

I highly suggest wearing nitrile or latex gloves with this glue to avoid finding out how "instant" this stuff really is. I glued my thumb and index finger together a while back and since I didn't have any acetone handy, the following hour involved an xacto blade, but luckily no bandages.

We covered this in EMT training recently, and the First Response has more of the active hemostatic agent.For what it's worth, all of our local squads carry QuickClot Combat Gauze.

Tons of gauze, but no quick clot. I ordered isreali bandages and quick clot. Still a hell of a deal. Very happy with the bag. Durable and room for everything. My son in law did two tours. One in iraq and the other Afghanistan. He was impressed.
