There are always going to be variations in opinions, but I pride myself on taking as much real-time feedback as I can and comparing it to the clinical trials that are out there. I have no personal investment in the products, just in teaching what ACTUALLY works. I have updated my manuals many times over the years to accomodate for new advances and changed in medicine. Till atleast 2003 I was reccomending the original QC as the best alternative to bleeding out on the market, but things change. There's always a better mouse trap!
The 10th mountain guys I have spoken to hands down prefereed Celox but they did say that the QC gauze and the QC "teabags" were ok. I choose to reccomend Celox gauze bc it can also be used to treat thermal injuries which are common in OCONUS enviroments.
Additionally, you have to keep one thing in mind; This product is designed for one use and one use only which is the treatment of an UNCONTROLLED EXTREMITY HEMMHORRAGE, nothing else. You only tear the package when your battle dressing AND tourniquet have failed. Ochmude I'd love to talk t oyour buddy if he's willing.
