The original powder stuff (that cam brought up a couple posts above) is frown upon now, I think, and has been for years. The quick clot gauze replaced it and seemed to be well received, but perhaps that too is now out of favor. I’m not sure what the current TCCC viewpoint is.
I believe that was due to folks literally packing it (powder) deep into large wounds and the Docs having to take more time to completely flush it all out before treating and to prevent infection once it’s sealed again.
That’s when the gauze came about that was infused with it and didn’t require that type of flush to treatment time.
There’s also individual use plungers now filled with say, a dozen small sponges infused with quickclot agents. You push the turkey baster looking syringe into the wound, press the plunger and it feeds sponges into it. Much easier for the docs to remove quickly.
On smaller but somewhat clean, deep cuts the powder can be used topically and doesn’t need to be packed, sprinkle it over the top, steri strip it, sprinkle some more and wrap it tight til you can get the proper sutures if needed.
