[QUOTE="firefighterguy, post: 2859953, member: 34983"] Celox is the best clotting agent on the market. I would go with that over quick clot. 3 major things are -tourniquet -celox -Israeli bandage or some type of gauze. The tampon/maxi pad stuff isn't ideal and doesn't really have a place in a first aid kit. They're designed to soak up blood. If we are talking stopping blood, the goal isn't to absorb the blood. It's to stop or reduce the flow of blood to let the bodies natural defense mechanism of clotting to happen. This is why celox is great because it speeds this up. If we are only soaking up blood our heart will keep pumping it out. We want to use direct pressure to limit or stop the flow of blood. To be honest direct pressure is going to stop almost every bleed. All of its useless without some basic training. Even an hr on YouTube could save your or someone's life.
