Medical equipment question

[cmailliard]

never tried combat gauze. Where does one get the best deal on it? I did use Quick clot on a bullet wound to arm. It was a religious experiences. IT BURNS LIKE HELL! It stopped the bleeding for sure.

Old green pouch with just the powder or the new(ish) ACS?

Chinook Med and Rescue Essentials both Colorado Companies sell it (not cheap). I usually have some from kits that didn't get built but am tapped out right now.

I still have some combat guaze left over in my kit,does that stuff expire?
It's been sitting since 9/11.

If you mean 2001, then yeah it's expired. Are you sure it's Combat Gauze and not just normal QuickClot? I think CG was developed in like 2006 or 2007.

It's definitly '01 so it probably is the normal QuickClot.
I have to restock my kit anyway so that is on the list.Just wasn't sure if it was still usable.

Just a quick note.. dont buy combat gauze from cheap outlets or even amazon... I tried 3-4 times and each time the expiration date is only a year away.
