I have some chitosan gauze, was under the impression it was basically quikclot

Basically

But where Quikclot amplifies the body's own clotting ability, chitosan acts as it's own clotting substance

I use some fancy stuff now a days

Called X-stat

Xstat is some fancy ahit.

Yes it is

I love it

Clotting injectors have been around for a minute haven’t they

Or am I tripping or is it substantially different?

Xstat unlike others provides immediate clotting

Ooo

It also create outward pressure unlike things like combat guaze where you put downward pressure into a wound

I haven’t army’ed in a decade so I’m out of date on new ifak stuffs

Legend has it 3 days ago they made me give the new fuzzy blue corder an IV in his forehead

Advice from my 8404 days on building a real, actionable militia med kit: roller gauze, saran wrap, needle thoracentesis devices, petroleum jelly, aspirin for the boomers and most importantly a plan on getting them to a hospital ASAP. This isnt Afghanistan there is a hospital in every city.

And of course as many tourniquets as you can carry. How could i forget

Aspirin, why.

Motrin
