That’s not it. It’s basically a big ass syringe (not the pokey kind) filled with clotting foam that’s small.

Looks like we’ve got medical covered pretty well.

If you guys have any useful information, feel free to post it.

I haven't checked them out yet but I've heard good things about dark angel medical

Sorry boys, passed the fuck out.

Celox A and xstat (the dildo looking one) are the ones I’ve played with.

Not a fan of the granules but i do like those sponges. They were trialing some injectable foam shit for abdominal trauma, not sure if it went to actual tests. Looked like a pain in the ass for surgery.

X-Stat is the shit

I just had to use celox on my finger today. What I found was that the granules will sit in top of the blood if you are heavily bleeding. It was only effective with multiple applications and constant pressure. I want to experiment with other hemostatic agents to see what the results are.

Celox is made to be applied AFTER you remove as much blood as you can from the wound.

Primarily for that reason.

Id rarely recommend hemostatics on digits unless there wasn’t enough room for a TQ or use of pressure points. The granules have quite a few problems, as Zoomer said, its designed to be placed as close to the bleed as possible with as little blood as possible. Thats why i like the z fold, wrap it around your finger and stuff it in the hole. Lol

I want an X-Stat so bad

Anyone know the price?

A coworker bought one and he paid like $40/$50

Let me check

The X-Stat 12 is currently $91.75 at panakeiausa

Each

holy fuck

Nevermind then

They sell 3 packs for $275.25

Yeah right? Lol

Packing gauze for me

No shit lol

Yeah

Honestly with the trainers we had at work I’ve had 80% same results with wound packing with regular vacuum z fold gauze.

Celox and QuikClot for me

If you just stuff it in the hole loosely you have a better chance with the hemostatic. I carry QuickClot everywhere. At least 2. 40 buckos a piece is doable

90 for the xstat is a bit of a stretch lol

Just uh, stuff that hole

Need this patch because reasons

Multi use

Im going to need that patch
