I have read alot lately about powders that claim to "stop bleeding instantly." Some even being so bold as to claim "it can control high-volume venous and arterial bleeding" such as a gun shot wound. If so this may very well replace serval items in my kit... or at least augment them.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Is this a viable tool for a 1st aid kit? Beachdoc? Medics?

They also claim it is being issued to soldiers... I haven't recieved any yet. <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
