Hemostatic gauzes have come a long way. I remember having my hands "warmed" by the Quick Clot powder. Keep in mind there are very few replacements for a hemostatic agent when wounds are anatomically unamendable. This is coming from a EMT-Tactical certified TCCC instructor, Combat Lifesaver Instructor, Combat Medic with 3 tours and 16 years of experience. I like the pouches and will recommend anyone using chest seals with one-way valves to also have some medical tape handy. The valves have been know to fail when the seal was folded along the line of valves and the tape keeps them from allowing air back into the pleural space.
Perhaps the plastic clips could be red instead of brown. Others would be able to quickly identify this pouch as an IFAK.
