Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi All. A couple of years ago I did a lot of research into Quick Clot, and the message was that it was being over-hyped. Reports of it blowing in eyes, and cooking tissues etc, led to it being I think banned by US Spec Ops, although still issued to general forces. New advertising states that it is now a lot less exothermic and comes in pads to stop it blowing around, and is now issued to ALL US forces. Is this correct? Also I have seen several references to the 'new US tourniquet guidelines' As I teach in the UK, where TQs are frowned upon outside military use, can anyone direct me to where I can find details and supporting research of these new guidelines please. Have a peaceful Christmas, even if you don't celebrate it. Nigel Smee Mediact Ltd. UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
