First Aid Advanced Quick Clotting Combat Gauze - Flexible Hemostatic Gauze - to Stop The Bleed kit Faster Wound Packing with Quick Clotting Medical Gauze - Survival Kit Supplies - 3" x 12.5'

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I haven't used THIS purchase, but it replaces the previous package. It works well and is priced good enough for me to buy, what I know works.

I had a hand injury which occurred in my wood shop. Being on blood thinning medications, the eventual 24 suture wound bled copiously and severely. Fortunately, I had this product on hand in my shop first-aid aid kit. Within 10 seconds after wrapping it on the injury, the bleeding completely stopped - without even having to apply a tourniquet!The ER doc was glad to see I’d used the pack as it made her job of assessing & suturing (24 stitches) the wound much easier. Needless to say, I ordered several more to keep on hand in the shop, house & car.

Great for first aid kit

I appreciate having this first aid gauze in my emergency kit. The quick-clotting feature is reassuring for fast bleed control, and the flexible design makes it easy to apply. The 3" x 12.5" size is versatile, and the two-pack ensures I’m well-prepared. A must-have for any survival kit.Wish there was some way to make these more affordable though...

This was great and a game changer you should have in your first aid kits

This is yet another review without using this product - something none of us hope to use but is invaluable in a Trauma or Stop the Bleed Kit. Having just had another refresher tactical trauma class, I realized this was missing from my kit. It should be a vital component.It is described as a quick clotting gauze, and to use it for serious trauma, it should be incrementally stuffed into the hole or cavity while maintaining pressure. Fold the remaining strip up and place on top of the wound while using firm pressure until the bleeding stops. DO NOT REMOVE OR CLOTTING MAY NOT OCCUR.I just learned in the refresher class that the blue stripe, which should be found in this product, is there so it shows up on x-rays even if the gauze is soaked with blood and not easily identified.

As someone on blood thinners, bleeding scares me. This gave me a lot of peace of mind

Very lightweight. I like to carry this just in case when hiking, biking, or being outdoors. Haven’t had to use it yet and I hope I don’t but better to be prepared.
