Points to ponder:
1. Tampons into wounds AFAIK is no longer recommended. While absorbent, they do not aid clotting, or really slow blood loss like direct pressure does AND they can introduce dirt and germs leading to infections.
2. Quick clot IS a coagulant and does greatly help with blood loss. But I read that quick clot should be removed from a wound prior to closing it. I forget the name but supposedly there’s a new organic quick clot like stuff that can be left in the wound.
FYI, I am still keeping my kwik clot in my BoBs and IFAKs.
Use new ones...
Thank Y’All for the update and info.
