QuikClot vs Celox (and ChitoGauze) - Differences Between Hemostatic Gauze
Hemostatic Gauze is a helpful tool when controlling bleeding. But is it necessary and which one should you buy for your trauma kit? We aim to address those very questions in this video.

Great video! Quick tip - if you see quickclot for $10-20, be sure to check the size. They do sell it in smaller sizes (more like a bandage), but you’d probably want the $30-45 ones for traumatic wound packing. Another quick tip - pack the standard (non-hemostatic) gauze underneath the hemostatic gauze in your kit so that you grab the hemostatic gauze first to pack directly on the source of the bleed, and then use the much cheaper non-hemostatic gauze to finish packing the wound (if needed).

Great tips. Thanks!

As a TCCC and AFATT instructor I really appreciate this video and recommend it.

[@SixEcho]

Thank you!

[@christopherblevins1968]

I appreciate you doing this one. I've wondered how clotting gauze works for a while. Do go ahead and expand on the cascade. I enjoy learning about what makes us tick!

[@SixEcho]

Sounds good. It’s in the works.

[@lifeholdstrategic]

My understanding is that they remove the protein from the shrimp shells that causes an allergic reaction.

[@SixEcho]

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the insight!

[@mikejones6711]

Correct

[@someweeb4110]

Incredible video! Still super torn on Celox v QuickClot but if it's the #1 recommended from a medical source you sound to trust then I'm going Quick.

[@Buckaroomedic]

Thanks for the overview. My department decided to go with the Celox due to its ability to work outside of the clotting cascade. I’ve never used it on a civilian Pt but we do have a lot of people on the new blood thinners in our area.

I’m curious how NuStat gauze compares? Enjoyed the video and appreciate the layman background info.

[@manuelschmidt1081]

Are ther any advantages of Quick-Clot in comparison to chitosan based haemostyptika? I know only disadvantages because it only relies on the bodies clottings cascade than can be disabled because of medication or hypothermia. Combat-gauze is easier to pack into a wound as celox. Celox gauze is more rigid. But other chitosan products are as flexible as combat gauze or normal compressed gauze. I know you said it but I want to highlight it: Pressure is the key. Combat gauze, Celox, helps to form a clot faster. But it is pressure that stops the bleed. Without pressure, hard and long, everything is totally useless.

[@someweeb4110]

So you would recommend for me as a civi with little medical knowledge to go Celox for a easier pack? May I ask your sources, any answer would be awesome. Inbetween quick n celox.

[@joshuarosenblatt]

Great channel. You’re doing excellent work!

[@SixEcho]

Thank you!

[@JDP33]

Thanks for the in depth video

[@SixEcho]

Sure thing!

[@axerxes3981]

Excellent video. Question... is there a problem with "shellfish" allergies with the dressings that use the "Chito" clotting vehicle?? Thanks for your help... most interesting!! Ax

[@JBW808]

Do you have links to the studies about the different packing materials you’re talking about.

[@borisjacobi2502]

Great video as always! Thank you

[@SixEcho]

Thank you!

[@bartsville6945]

Great video!

[@jamesself5438]

I work at an elementary school. Do any of these work better or worse for children?

[@tberg9677]

Thank you for the video

[@ElijahsThrone]

can celox be used on a pt who is allergic to shell fish?

[@stevestrange4084]

what about Celox V12090 or xstat 30 /12 "tampon-like clot applicators"

[@agnelomascarenhas8990]

Chitosan is in the exoskeleton of shrimp/prawns. Allergy reactions if any should be contrasted with life saving hemostatic clotting. Very useful info! Thank you.

[@camerondawson9205]

The best one of the three is the one you have on you in an emergency.

[@lesharknett6434]

There is no allergic reaction because, I believe, you are allergic to a protein in shell fish, this protein is not present in the celox type products.

[@shimmerNshiney]

who taught u to use "impregnated" to describe things????

[@Mike-ww3bq]

It’s just the technical term for it, same language is used by the manufacturers too… Does sound funny for some reason tho 😅

[@SammyTheSidePiece]

Wonder why drugs and alcohol are cheaper to get than medical supplies that actually save lives? Cuz people care so much right? Smh

[@giuseppinavolpe2873]

Nonsense question

[@PeteJensen84]

That's capitalism for ya.

[@twestgard2]

Every industrialized country other than the United States makes medical care available to the entire population. In fact, most mid-range countries do a better job than the US. The US has defined “quality” as the ability to provide cutting edge care, with no consideration for who can afford it. That leaves most people unable to get the care for economic reasons.
