Customer Reviews of Adventure Medical Kits/Tender Corporation QuikClot Travel hemostatic clotting bag
Customer Review: Hope you never need it, get it in case you do
Summary: 5 Stars
This product stops bleeding cold. Right Now. Note- it is expensive so don't go using it for everyday cuts, those where the bleeding is easily controled by pressure. But this could very well save a life, especially out in the field.
Get one of the large packs and keep it at home in your 1st Aid kit, and one of the smaller packs (liek this version) to carry in your beltpouch or daypack, along with a few Band-Aids and the usual stuff.
This version is a "clotting bag" which encloses the powder/granules. It's a lot less messy than the powder/granule versions, but perhaps not as useful in all situations. However, if you had to apply it to yourself, the bag would be less likely to go wrong.
Most first aid kits do not contain this product as it is too expensive, so you'll have to add it yourself.
What is handy with this product is that you can apply it to youself in a pinch.
Customer Review: Can stop arterial bleeding before EMT arrives
Summary: 5 Stars
In hospital use, where arteries are intentionally punctured and ported for insertion of stints or dye aided radiology in the heart, one of the largest problems is stopping the bleading after removal of the artery port.
This exact product was used after port removal and stopped the bleading in under 5 minutes. Compared to the response time to call 911, dispatch an EMT, drive, arrive, and provide aid, the 5 minute time to form a complete clot with no further bleading is a nice guarantee.
This should be in any medical kit. Note - I have purchased both the 3.5" square and 5" square - the 5" square is a better deal since it has twice the clotting material for 1.5 x the price.
Customer Review: What's your life worth?
Summary: 5 Stars
First aid kits are great for minor treatment, but when you're bleeding profusely, you need something to stop that bleeding or you'll die; simple as that. Tourniquets work when nothing else is available, but you can't tourniquet the abdomen or neck. Those are just two examples of places this item works better. Simple to use (I read the instructions but have not used it) and from what I've read it is quite effective (again, I have not used one). I keep one in my first aid kit on my motorcycle. I'd recommend one in a backpacker's kit, too, since it doesn't weigh much. I'm hoping I'll never need to use it, but I'm comforted to know I have it in case I need it.Customer Review: QuikClot Travel hemostatic clotting bag
