Blood Stop Products

The subject of blood stop products for cuts came up in an earlier thread about blood thinners, and I thought it might have gotten lost in the long string of comments, so I am starting a new post on it. There are several I found, but the below site had one of the better lists and explanations of products. CVS and Walgreens carry WoundSeal on their sites, so it appears to be readily available. Woundseal even states it is recommended for people on blood thinners.

Blood Stoppers - QuickClot, KytoStat, and WoundSeal (formerly QR Powder)

Quik Clot® - Quikclot is a chemically inert material in a mesh bag that speeds coagulation of blood, resulting in a stable clot that stops bleeding

Kytostat by HemCon® Bandages were proven to be effective lifesavers in combat. HemCon is a top choice of America's Armed Forces to stop severe bleeding. Now the same advanced, natural blood-stopping technology can go right into your first aid kit.

WoundSeal QR Powder stops bleeding instantly. QR does not wait for the body's clotting process to take place. QR Powder does not burn the skin and does not cauterize. QR Powder is non-toxic and is not biologically derived.

I hadn't thought about blood stop for years, until we talked about it on the other post. What we used was for animals when we had cows, etc. It works and since most of us are on blood thinners, it would be a good idea to keep it handy. Although we care very careful, anything can happen. A few years before my husband was on blood thinner, he cut the tip of his finger off. Bled a lot and probably would have been worse had he been on the thinner then. So thanks for the remind.

Thanks!

Excited to research these products. I only have & knew about old-fashioned styptic pencils and alum powder. I work in an industrial setting, and although careful, I poke or scrape myself on steel several times a week & have to stop work to apply pressure. Hoping one of these will reduce the toe-tapping, pressure-holding down time.
