This powder works amazing, especially if you’re on blood thinners

Many products that are readily available in U.S. is not available in Canada. An example is this product that stops gushing wounds. I tried looking at my local pharmacies in southern Ontario and the Pharmacists all gives me a blank look every time. This powder from the product form a cap at the wound to stop the bleeding. Many outdoor enthusiasts use this product. My dad has blood clots that forms a blood blister at the base of foot from the veins. Once it bursts, the bleeding is not easy to stop. The problem was finally resolved from surgery, but before then, we had to go to Emergency more often than not. Having this product before would save a couple of trips to Emergency, hence the recommendation.

Cut myself bad processing a rooster yesterday. My right hand slipped and cut the vein just below my second knuckle on my left thumb. Put pressure on it til hubs could find the Woundseal stuff. I had bought this stuff right after my last knife wound (yeah, I'm dangerous in the kitchen with sharp pointy things), when I had to get 3 stitches in my finger. I live in a remote area, nearest clinic is over an hour away. Hubs poured a container on the cut, and I put pressure back on it. I hadn't known til today that this stuff is like chemical cauterization. Stings. A lot. But better than bleeding out on my kitchen floor. Put gauze on the cut after, and a very snug bunch of surgical tape to hold the gauze in place, and put pressure on the cut. Made the mistake of removing the dressing like an hour later (the curiosity was killing me), and it started bleeding again, but not as badly. Wash, rinse, repeat. But today, it's not seeping, not infected (it was a very yucky knife covered in chicken ick). I'll take the dressing off in a day or two, so I can clean it and let it air dry out, and stick some Steri-Strips on it. This Woundseal stuff should be in everybody's emergency medical stash. Amazing stuff, really. The blood was flowing heavily, and it stopped it. It would have been fine if I hadn't removed the dressing. I have since ordered a pair of cut resistant gloves.

Compacted is to on your person . Expensive for a band aid. Works well for scraps.

the blood has to be flowing a bit for it to work
