Questions & Answers
I'm not sure how to respond to your question other than to say that it's advertised to stop bleeding rather than to heal a wound. br>br>From personal experience, I will offer the following advice. Always bring it with you when traveling. I traveled almost nonstop throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe in the seven years leading up to my retirement. On one trip, I was returning home from Shanghai and found myself in the airport. I managed to brush up against the sharp metal fence corner with my hand. Blood was gushing everywhere because I was on blood thinners, and it wouldn't stop. I entered the men's room and removed the powder from my briefcase. It took about 10 seconds from the time I poured the powder on the wound until it stopped bleeding, despite the fact that it had been bleeding nonstop for 20 minutes with no signs of stopping. br> I saw a woman and her child standing near the departure gate less than an hour after my accident. The woman had a problem with her hand, which was covered in blood from the tissue she was using. I inquired as to whether or not she was fluent in the English language. "Yes, I am from New York," she replied. " When she said yes, I reached for my WoundSeal. I told her what it was and handed it over to her. I advised her to look for a sink in the restroom near the gate because this product leaves a horrible stain, which she did. She returned to the gate with her daughter about 5 minutes later, telling me that this powder was a miracle. br>br>It happened so frequently that I never left the house without it. It's in my home bathrooms, my office desk, and all of my vehicles. Sorry for being so long-winded, but WoundSeal is a product that I strongly recommend.

There is no indication of how much is contained in the small package. Each vial contains approximately 1/2 teaspoon of powder, according to my best guess. Although the package states that each vial is only for single use, each vial has a screw-on cap. on cap, and I've discovered that for a small wound, I only need about half the amount in the vial, then re-apply. Cap the vial and save the remaining liquid for later use. I've never had an issue with using the remainder at a later time - It continues to function properly.
I'm not sure if it has a shelf life, but I'm sure keeping it in a sealed container and keeping it cool will help it last longer. I'm trained in emergency medical treatment and have used this a few times and found it to be very effective in stopping bleeding when pressure bandages didn't.

When compared to Celox, I've discovered that they both dry up quickly. and clot- This one is just plain easier to use because, unlike Celox powder packages that you have to tear open and douse on the wound site, this one simply twists the cap and you have a tighter opening to be more precise with application. What the tube design also gives you is essentially what the Celox-style design gives you. In the event of deep bleeding sites (bullet holes or shrapnel wounds, or raw punctures from animals or sticks (during falls), a delivers the option to put it inside a wound and fill the site. Essentially, this is a more do-it-yourself approach. Unlike Celox, which has a different applicator for surfactant wounds versus deep wounds, you must get the one for surfactant wounds versus deep wounds with Celox. br>br>And don't forget that using something like this is always going to be an emergency, because even minor flesh wounds that bleed enough to warrant this raise the question of how bad they are at first glance. So, if someone has a "boo boo," you're not going to pull these out. This is for bleeding wounds that need to be treated immediately. That means SECONDS MATTER, and you need to be able to apply this quickly and effectively using GROSS MOTOR MOVEMENTS. especially if you happen to be the one who has to use it. As a result, have something simple to open and apply on hand. THESE TUBES ARE COMPLETELY COMPLETELY COMPLETELY COMPLETELY COMPLETELY Now, because they're small, you'll have to open more than one if necessary, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, because it's not like you'll have to use a large package for a small wound and then feel bad about it later. If a deep wound necessitates the opening of three of these, do so. However, they're light and portable, making them ideal for DIY field kits or professional IFAK replacements. Keep them in your house (near the kitchen and workshop), office, and--I can't stress this enough--in your car. car.
I am well aware of the situation. The fact that this stuff burns is something they don't tell you. And I don't mean "ouch, that's hot," I mean it's as if they're trying to put out a fire with you. Aside from the excruciating pain, this stuff actually works. It forms a scab and stops the bleeding right away. br>br>Last summer, my sister applied it to a deep cut on my arm after I fell 5 feet onto a jagged rock. My muscles wiggled when I moved my fingers, and it was about 5 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. The sealer hurt more than the cut, but I didn't want to put stitches in. For anyone who goes camping or falls frequently, this is a must-have item.
I am a retired military member with extensive first-aid training for minor cuts and skin tears. It's always been difficult to use gauze and tape to try to stop bleeding from minor but free-flowing cuts or tears, especially if you're on a blood thinner. This is where the quality of this product truly shines. I've been on warfarin for a long time because I have Afib. I bought some of this product years ago to keep in my vehicles, and it has worked wonders in stopping blood flow from cuts on several occasions. I recently used it when I nearly cut my thumb off on a sliding door with a sharp edge, and I ran my thumb up and was cut pretty badly on the sharp edge I didn't realize was there. I went into the bathroom and found two (2) tubes of this product, which I applied to the wound. It did burn a little, but the blood flow stopped immediately, and a week later you couldn't tell I'd been cut badly except for some peeling skin. It's an outstanding item.
This is the "tube" version of WoundSeal, which resembles a small toothpaste tube in appearance. In my wallet, I like to keep a packet of the "pouch" version, which looks like a small ketchup packet. As a product, it still functions properly, so I'll keep it in my glove compartment.
The bleeding was stopped right away, and the wound was completely sealed, so there was no risk of infection. I purchased a second package and made sure it was included in all of my first-aid kits. This is an excellent product to have on hand if you have a deep wound and are having trouble getting the blood to clot.
It would have been better if it came in a larger tube. It would suffice for the majority of people. It stings, but who cares if you're in an emergency?.
It'll work for almost anyone if it works for me! br>br>I've re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- I've bought this product a lot of times!.
I'm not sure why these aren't included in so many of the pre-existing systems. There are a lot of pre-made first-aid kits available. Actually, I am aware of this. These are costly, but they are extremely beneficial, particularly for trauma wounds. This is something you'd want to have on hand in case of an emergency, so it's a good investment. I keep these in my car and at home, and they're useful even for minor wounds. Also, some iodine cotton swabs (sold separately) would be a must-have. Look them up on the internet. Alcohol swabs are available as well.
