    Default Thingy for plugging bullet holes.

    I have no medical experience, so the following has nothing to do with my thoughts or opinions. ( To me looks like an old school tampon application thing. ) I am however asking yours. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Have you heard if it works?

    Penetrating wounds like shrapnel or knife wounds are very difficult to treat. They can often be lethal. It is extremely difficult to get a haemostatic agent to the real source of bleeding. Now there is a solution. Celox-A is a unique applicator delivery system designed to give you an easy, safe and effective way to stop life-threatening bleeding from difficult to treat penetrating trauma. The instinctive applicator allows you to get the Celox granules through a small entry wound, directly to the bleeding site in just a few seconds. The applicator is vacuum packed, sterile and lightweight, and can be easily stored within your existing trauma pouch.

    Celox is suitable for
    • Small entry wounds
    • Penetrating wounds
    • Knife and shrapnel wounds
    • Bullet entry wounds
    • Applying through strong blood flows
    • Controlled application to all wounds

    Celox has been shown to
    • Reliably stop arterial bleeding**
    • Significantly reduce blood loss**
    • Clot blood containing anticoagulants like Coumadin (warfarin)*
    • Quickly clot hypothermic (cold) blood*
    • Details of these tests are available at: ( I removed the link to avoid advertisement )

    "Refills" or just stuff in a packet that might get you arrested on suspicion of handling crystal meth.

    Many Thanks

    This would be quite handy in a First aid kit.

    The Surgeons among us like Lithium should comment.
    From an Anaesthesia perspective this hypercoagulation properties will come with a trade-off. I am wary of sticking anything into a traumatic hole with the risk of causing further damage. If it expand when saturated with blood, it will also cause problems.
    As a foreign object it might also increase infection risk in the wound if everything can not the easily washed out off the wound or cavity.
    I also question whether it will reliably stop arterial bleeding thats really live threatening for example brachial, popliteal or femoral artery.

    I would also be concerned that under stress, somebody might try and force that applicator into a small penetrating wound, making it worse. While it looks like it has a potential use, I think the average person would be better served by a conventional haemostatic dressing with a broader application

    Yeah I think its a kak idea.

    Stick to the basics, direct amd indirect pressure. Understanding anatomical structures and where vascular pressure points are is a fundamental all prepared people should know.

    As far as sticking things into wounds goes there is always a right and a wrong. Each practitioner will have a varied opinion.

    I believe strongly in wound packing, however not with an application device as pictured in the OP. However there is a definite concern over a lay-person being shown how to pack a wound then going forth and forcing stuff into every hole that they find.
