This weekend I taught a block at the Summit of the Armed Society. I reviewed the most common commercially available hemostatics on the market, Celox and Quick Clot. We demonstrated the use of Celox powder, gauze (impregnated), trauma gauze (homogenous), the Celox A syringe style applicator, QC military and LEO Z-Fold gauze.
To perform the test we used real tissue with real gunshot and knife wounds and pumped real blood at arteriel pressure through the wound channels. The results were astounding and will help all shooters make an informed decision about what they put in their IFAK!
Here's a teaser from the 3 hours of video:
