It has been several years and time to update some items in my Ifaks as well as personal aid bags. I see most are recommended per TCCC but if you had to choose which would you go with celox, quikclot, or Sam 100?

I've always had quikclot in them but now have diabetic family members and others on blood thinners which I see celox and Sam are supposed to help clot independently of the body's clotting process.

Step one is finding out what "blood thinners" they're on.

Aspirin, Plavix, brilinta,  aggrenox work differently than Coumadin, eliquis, xarelto.

Forget the powder.  Combatgauze or chitogauze are the standard and have been for some time.

What about the powder with applicator syringes?

Seem like they’d work well on rebar (industrial accident) or pistol size wounds in the extremities.

Are they supported by evidence-based TCCC Guidelines?  If not, then no.

Hint: they're not.

Real world experience shows that powder travels FROM where you want it, TO where you don't.  Do you really want clotting in the wrong place?

Think about evacuating a casualty by helo.  Do you think powder is gonna stay put?
