Stop Bleeding

Posted 4 months ago I am taking a survey on hemostatic agents. These are "blood stoppers" used in the military environment and is becoming widely prevalent in the SWAT community. I would like to get as many feedback as possible on whether or not you carry hemostatic agents or have heard of various hemostatic agents. I have compiled a list of the reigning champions: CELOX, Quick Clot, HemCon, Act Cel, Trauma DEX, BioGlue, BLOXX and (drum roll) SUGAR! Any and all comments are invited. If you have applied or know of tricks on hemostatic agents, please comment. We are not talking about tourniquet applications. |

| Posted 4 months ago I have Quick Clot in my POV so if its needed at an incident i can use it. It really work great i prefer to use it. |

| Posted 4 months ago I represent the Company that is going to bring Bloxx to market in the next year. I have attached a video link showing the product. Enjoy and pass around, I would love to get your feedback. It is an incredible product. Coming soon!!

| Posted 4 months ago the doctors in my area hate trauma dex because it is difficult to clean the wound to do sutures. They get pissed when we use it so we carry it but dont use it. |

| Posted 3 months ago Thank you to the Bloxx representitive for leaving a posting! I do not have a sample but I do have information sheets on BLOXX. I also gave a very short blurb in my "SWAT Medic" single point reference to BLOXX as an upcoming technology that all medics should be aware of. Many doctors that are not familiar with some of the hemostatic agents have complaints of debriding the wound. However, the use of these agents constitute a need to stop blood loss and I still think debriding is secondary to dying. |
