Quik-Clot will stop arterial bleeding and save lives and limbs as this video shows. The new combat gauze works the same way but isn't a powder that might get blown about in the wind or helicopter downwash. EVERY Soldier should have Quik-Clot in his Individual First Aid Kit (I-FAK).

  • There's no better, ...

    There's no better, more effective way to test this than to dice up a pig?

    Even convinced that's over the top, I'm impressed to say the least with it's results. Games have given us medpacks and and med gels for years. About time our military got something akin to it.

    Now then. To funnel 700 billion into quick clot, and end up with a spray version that actually heals. Hmm.

    Yes, its helped us save hundreds of lives. As bad as Iraq is it could be even worse; we could be wheeled road land mine kill and have BAD emergency medicine; KIAs would be 8, 000 if not higher
