Curad Bloodstop Hemostatic Gauze, 1 X 1 Inches, 10 Count

Thankfully haven't had to use it yet..... but glad to have it. **update** had to use one night as a wound started bleeding heavily after coming home from hospital after surgery. Pressure bandage wouldn't work as the wound was from skin cancer excision on forehead. I applied this little patch, added a bandage around it and no more issues. Saved a trip back to the hospital!

Works well , easy to apply, but patches are small

My Husband has to take blood thinners now, which make him blood excessively, at the least little prick or scratch. These bandages are now in my tool kit for the most minor incidents. Usually he soaks the first one, but it does stop the bleeding, then I replace it with a new one when he stops bleeding.

The CURAD BloodStop® Wound Dressing 1” x 1” are great. Much easier to use than the powder. Many of our new scouts seem to cut themselves after earning their Tote’n Chip flee some reason. These 1”x1” are perfect for managing these situations.

it works to stop bleeding

A week after I purchased I literally cut the entire tip of my thumb off. We tried these FIRST. However, we didn't apply enough pressure and it kept bleeding through and outside of the bandage. We ended up using a quick clot gauze (which ended up being severe overkill) which are designed for stopping MAJOR arterial bleeds like a gun shot wound to the thigh. These would be excellent for children (they are small bandages) or tiny or minor cuts or pokes that require more than a band aide.

A must have in every 1st aid kit
