my experience with the negs of quikclot comes from the doctor i worked with (alongside as part of the Code White team) in the ER, when i was a Guard in the lockdown unit of the ER. The doc had been all over the world with Doctors Without Borders, and vehemently explained to us why quikclot and other similar products piss off the ER/trauma docs so much. Post field clean up is a B****, it results in tissue separation, more bleeding, and the heat (from the OLD style of quiky) can cause tissue damage. I have ZERO experience on the NEW Quiky, so i cannot comment on that. The doc would tell us "Pressure Dressings men! use the goddamn pressure dressings and wound packers (cotton packing)! when i get one of these riflemen in with quiky in their holes, i have to WASTE my time cleaning it out when i could be extracting lead and closing wounds. Dont use that crap"
