Useful to everyone, but only preppers will realize it.

We used to carry tampons along with our field dressing- the tampon would be inserted into a bullet wound, then the dressing- now, there are clotting agents and synthetic sponge materials that would plug and clot the major bleeding. Good deal if you can reach the wounds and quickly apply. Could save your life-or that of another.

Each sponge is also tagged with a radiopaque marker so it can be easily spotted using X-ray and removed at a later date Which makes it suboptimal for a time when the next hospital visit in unknown.

Clotting granules. Come in a pack and have been available for sometime. I guess the syringe is the new thing

This is a good thing to have in time for Obama’s final year in power.

Not trying to troll, but wouldn’t a tampon also work?

It looks like these are especially good for big gaping wounds (exit wounds often are, especially from something like an AK).
There have been similar, though smaller devices (good for straight bullet channels), available for civilians, based on clotting agents (like quick clot or celox), rather than sponges:

Hmm.
Looks suspiciously like a Tampax tampon with its applicator.

So now the infantry won’t need tampons anymore?
