Glad I was prepared last week - 09/03/20 02:00 AM
Got to use my kit last week. Went over the bars on a mountain bike trail and somehow my head protected my helmet. I was able to stop the bleeding long enough to get to the end of the trail and a ride to the emergency department.
I had difficulty stopping the bleeding taping some gauze to my head, I'd clean it then blood would get on the skin before I could tape the gauze on so the tape would just come off.
I remember reading about quickclot a while back and then reading somewhere that it wasn't popular anymore. Is it still a good thing to use?
