    Approved for civilians, but is still a Class II Rx Only device, meaning you must have a prescription for it. It is only designed for EMS and hospital use only right now.

    Oh, bummer. I missed that part.


    So... who here can write me a prescription for one?

    This doesn't help pain. You'd have better luck getting a prescription to stop that annoying monthly bleeding you have.

    Yeah, part of it, or actually most of it, is because this is designed to go into the body. All the way from original QuickClot to Combat Gauze everything says "external use only". There is a distinction in the eyes of the FDA for something that goes in the body i.e. angiocaths for starting an IV or a monster one for a needle decompression. For invasive procedures they like a physician to have some oversight on that which is why Rx Only.

    All that being said the only any hemostatic works is by applying at the point of injury, the artery, IN the body. If Combat Gauze had been released in a different manner stating "apply to injured artery" it too may very well have had a Class II Rx Only designation.

    We need to recognize that products like this (and quickclot, combat gauze, etc) are not a permanent solution to a severed artery - They are just meant to keep you alive long enough to get to a real surgeon.

    Ok, fuck the FDA then. If I'm bleeding to death I really don't give shit what the FDA would like....I'd like to continue living my life without some beaurocrat deciding if I have the authority to treat myself or not. Or my wife or kids or some innocent victim I came across.

    I'm not bitching at you, just the insanity that is the government.

    Do they regulate dildos? They go in the body as well.
