That's a well thought out concern, but it looks like CG has that base covered too:

"Two-hundred (200) patients treated with aspirin, clopidogrel, LMWH and warfarin regimens were either treated with QuikClot Interventional (n=100) or standard manual compression (n=100) following catheterization by femoral approach. In the QuikClot Interventional group, hemostasis was achieved in a mean time of 5.4 minutes and all patients ambulated by 4 hours. QuikClot Interventional demonstrated advanced clotting and much earlier ambulation times in comparison to the standard of care (12 hours), especially for patients treated with anticoagulant therapies."

CELOX gauze is a competitor to CG, and I have read that CELOX is effective on patients using bloodthinnners as well.
