I've read it. I wouldn't call QuikClot a flop. I'm more interested in the shrimp stuff (a little friendlier around wet and cold), but QuikClot has worked. Maybe not as was hoped, maybe not as pitched by some of the PR flacks, but it has worked. It IS NOT the great magic wand to bleeding that a lot people thought it was going to be, but realistically the only thing that will do that is pull our brains out and put them in armoured fishbowls inside a souped up Talon.

I'm glad the sponges are being fielded, they look like they are harder to screw up and I do like the idea of a blood stopper in a fiber bandage. And more effective in cases where you have high pressure bleeding such as the four described- bracial and femoral arteries? That's like trying to plug up the end of a fire hose with dry cement.
