I have a uncle who is a paramedic who says this stuff is pointless, and is actually looked down upon in the medical world. Because the doctors have to clean it all out of the wound before they can do anything else, anyone else with professional medical...

I'm a retired medic and what your uncle says about cleaning the wound after using quick clot is true; however, in those rare cases where there is uncontrolled bleeding and pressure don't stop the bleeding i.e a lacerated femoral artery this stuff works. The Dr has to flush the wound to wash out the quick clot but that's better than doing nothing more than trying to clamp the artery or applying pressure.

Are you brain dead? Of course it does, but in my opinion, it is a complete waste of materials and of dubious industrial design. The waterproofing recharging system has been around for 15 years, and this thing just reeks of excess materials for supposed aesthetics. Takes up a lot of room in any drawer you stash it in, plus the razor itself is a piece of garbage.

I'm about to call today too. My husband used it with those little flecks and 2 days later had acute appendicitis. I'm certain it had nothing to do with it but he thinks otherwise and refuses to use it until we get new ones. Thanks for the info!

Beats me. I took it for my neuropathy, which it was supposed to cure or substantially alleviate. Did nothing for me. I thought it was a big rip-off.

It's not a towel. It doesn't absorb. It's more of a scrub cloth. Think of a flexible loofa. Great for lifting dead skin.

I agree that you should check with your doctor, but it is designed to cover wounds and allow them to heal. In my case, the wound was not appropriate for direct use, but my skin was so sensitive to tape that we used this product as the vehicle to adhere dressing tape to so that my skin only had to deal with the removal of this product every 5-7 days instead of tape 3 times a day. This product was recommended to my nurse by my surgeon.

I have not used that product; however, our other home medic was heavier and more powerful, and it would actually hurt when it was used on my back. This one does the massage work without the discomfort.

Its called GOUGING... and taking advantage of desperate people who live in chronic severe pain. As much pain as I live with at least my soul isn't in immortal pain from being a sociopath who can't feel human empathy and sees this product as a way to harm hurting people for a profit.

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

Man people are so judgmental! You did hear wrong and this is very painful and could cause blistering on the skin or worse an ulcer that could get infected. I am sure you did not mean this to sound like you are an abuser to all those animal lovers.

It's not worth buying it for your home or business. it has a lot of bandages and the rest of the contents are not even enough for 5 people. just crap. shop a little more or buy the thins you need separate and make your own first aid kit

Based on the fact that it is in a petroleum form on sterile gauze in a sealed pouch, I wouldn't think so. This product is included in a lot of first aid kits, and essential to most medical tech kits. While I wouldn't buy more than I would ever anticipate being able to use, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase extra if there was a fantastic sale. However, based on the size of your wound/need, I would likely buy smaller sized pads for ordinary use. Once the pouch is opened, it is exposed to air/germs and shouldn't be used from one dressing to the next if exposed to the elements.

i have a friend that says he uses it everywhere including personal areas, but i have found a way to minorly cut myself with it (this surprised him). if you are careful you can get the job done well enough.

I do not know how to prove this product does anything. It's not like knocking down a fever or fixing a scratch on the skin. It works 'behind' the scenes, so to speak, and nothing immediately happens, only over time if you can actually notice a difference.

If you use this while driving, it is probably quite foreseeable that you will need to clean blood off -your own. Hopefully, you will survive to worry about it!!!

lol I am not sure, I think alot of people don't know about the product and its benefits. I also think since it is fairly inexpensive doctors won't be promoting it.

Interesting question, do you plan on having one of those injuries soon ? My husband just used this product for the first time about a month ago and he still has some of the product still on his toe !!! Because this material forms such a "cement-type" coverage, I would be concerned about putting enough product on such a large wound. Would it absorb so much blood that it would be dangerous ? I guess it could b removed by a doctor. I think this question needs to be presented to the manufacturer and/or a physician/surgeon. Good luck.
