Herbal Ed's Salve 1 oz. Review

Herbal Ed's Salve 1 oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Natural Healing salve with amazing beneficial properties. Recommended to me by a chef who used it on hand cuts in his work - I have put this on a bleeding wound and gotten immediate pain relief, there is no development of redness around a wound, the skin remains normal color and does not dry out; it speeds healing, and greatly reduces any scarring. Herbal Ed's is a natural product and the synergism of all the ingredients produces immediate and healthy curative properties. From my own personal use, I know it works. I use it on my dogs if they get a cut, and on dry paw pads. It restores natural oils and relieves soreness. Give this the HIGHEST recommendation possible!

This is a wonderful product. Our outside cat "Bob" had been gone for a few weeks. Upon his return we noticed that he had a large wound on his right shoulder 2 inches wide 4 inches long and 3/4 inches deep. The wound was cleaned and WONDER DUST was applied. Entire area was covered with gauze and secured with an Ace bandage. Dressing was changed every three days. Within the first three days all the infection was drawn to the top of the wound. After 3 weeks the area has healed to a 1 inch by 1 inch area. This product is great. I always keep a new bottle on hand.

Clubman Dab-on Nick Relief .25 oz Review

Clubman Dab-on Nick Relief .25 oz
Average Reviews:

After many years of using this I got an email from Amazon asking to review.
This is the very best alternative to seal a razor cut and I will elaborate below. Your alternatives are:
1. Styptic pencil. The troubles are many: white residue on your face, the pencil melts if left wet (so you'd have to dry it), etc.
2. Alum. This is a rock which tastes sour and that constricts your blood vessels. The concentration isn't large so you'll run the rock a lot on your face and irritate the skin further. I kind of like this mostly because of tradition - I inherited a few from my grandfather.
3. Styptic roll-on's. The problem here is that blood gets on their ball and in the can. Kind of gross.
4. Sponge that stops bleeding (usually for more serious wounds). You look like you applied toilet paper pieces to your nicks until the bleeding stops.
5. Clubman's dab-on-nik. This is best. It has a sponge that yes, gets blood on, but you can wash it BEFORE the blood gets in the can. Concentration is about right, you may need to reapply, but I guess if you make it too concentrated, it would sting you. The sponge ensures that you apply it on the right spot. There is no residue. Really the best alternative, and from far. I have been using it for 10 years by now.

Being sent around the internet is a claim, not by Bayer, that this crystal form would be very useful if you are having a heart attack.
This is not true. Telephone the Bayer help line for the facts.
On one forum site, a woman from Arizona wrote: Elizabeth Smith, Peoria, AZ

I called Bayer Health Care regarding the product Bayer Crystal Aspirin after a pharmacist advised NOT to take it for an onset of a heart attack. This product contains caffeine & 850 mg of aspirin. Because of these features Bayer recommends that you DO NOT use this product for the onset of a heart attack. The FDA recommends that as little as two 81 mg aspirin is sufficient.

I think even one 81mg is sufficient.

Adventure Medical Kits Tactical Field/Trauma with QuikClot Review

Adventure Medical Kits Tactical Field/Trauma with QuikClot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have recommended Quikclot before. Here's what I said:
"This product stops bleeding cold. Right Now. Note- it is expensive and a little messy, so don't go using it for everyday cuts, those where the bleeding is easily controlled by pressure. But this could very well save a life, especially out in the field.
Get one of the large packs and keep it at home in your 1st Aid kit, and one of the smaller packs to carry in your beltpouch or daypack, along with a few Band-Aids and the usual stuff.
Most first aid kits do not contain this product as it is too expensive, so you'll have to add it yourself. What is handy with this product is that you can apply it to yourself in a pinch."
So, you'd think I'd rate a kit with Quikclot with *****. However, I can't quite. See, other than the Quikclot, this is just an ordinary handy little 1st aid kit.
From Adventure Medicals site, here's what's in this:
"Bandage Materials
4Bandage, Adhesive, Fabric, 1" x 3"
3Bandage, Adhesive, Fabric, Knuckle
2Bandage, Butterfly Closure
1Bandage, Elastic, Self Adhering, 2"
2Dressing, Gauze, Sterile, 2" x 2", Pkg./2

1Dressing, Non-Adherent, Sterile, 3" x 4"

2Trauma Pad, 5" x 9"

Blister / Burn
11Moleskin, Pre-Cut & Shaped

Instrument
3Safety Pins
1Splinter Picker/Tick Remover Forceps

Medical Information
1Comp. Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine

Medication
1After Bite Wipe
2Antihistamine (Diphenhydramine 25 mg)
1Aspirin (325 mg), Pkg./2
2Ibuprofen (200 mg), Pkg./2

Wound Care
6After Cuts & Scrapes Anethestic/Antiseptic Wipe
1Dressing, Petrolatum, 3" x 3"
1Tape, 1/2" x 10 Yards
2Triple Antibiotic Ointment, Single Use"
A decent list, but other than the Quikclot, hardly unique.
So, it would be quite a bit cheaper to just take your already existing 1st Aid kit and just throw in the Quikclot, which runs $10-$15.
But, this is still a good kit, and fairly complete even though quite compact. If you don't already have a small kit, this is not a bad choice.

Swift First Aid Bloodstopper Sterile Multi-purpose Wound and Trauma Dressing, Expandable Wound Pad 3 1/2" X 5 1/2" X 5 1/2", 3-Pack Review

Great little dressing, cheap, and my preference for home first aid kits or pre-hospital...but not for backcountry.
For home use nothing beats these. Easy to use, just cram one on a wound, two if it's big, wrap the ends and tie in place. Most first patch dressings are done dirty, just to stop the bleeding. These go right over clothes, go on without tape, go on one handed and will fit anywhere.)
Small size, soft packaging, good dressing and more versatile than a kerlix.
Not for backpacking though
But... unrolling it in the mud, dirt etc it's going to flop all over, little elastic means it's a s-rolled kerlix that needs reinforcement or ACE to pressure it, the lack of a water and snag proof outer cover means every twig and berry in the woods will be stuck to it in minutes.
If your not grizzly Adams and just want a good trauma dressing thats cheaper than and less complicated than a millitary dressing this is for you!

In answer to the reviewer below, the original Quik Clot formula would burn, and military and civilian medics went to other types of clotters. But this is a REFORMULATED product, that does not burn. Use with confidence. I have this in all my vehicles and home first aid kits. Other brands work too, but don't fear the sport cloths by Quik Clot.

Quikclot Sport Brand Advanceed Clotting Sponge ,Stop Bleeding Fast, 50 Gram Packages Review

Quikclot Sport Brand Advanceed Clotting Sponge ,Stop Bleeding Fast, 50 Gram Packages
Average Reviews:

When a fellow backpacker slipped while carrying his pack saw, he cut his upper thigh pretty badly. Although no major vessels were involved, the wound bled profusely. This QuikClot product was applied to the wound with direct pressure and then bound in place. While the wound was not extraordinarily severe, the injured man was quite upset by the amount of blood he appeared to be losing prior to application of the dressing. Once the QuikClot product was in place and a thick sterile pad secured over it, only a small amount of blood was visible. This added tremendously to reassure the injured man that he was not in great danger from bleeding. Others in our party assisted the man back to the trail head and he was taken to a local hospital where the laceration was sutured.
This product is an absolute 'must have' item in any aid kit for people working or enjoying the out of doors in locations distant from immediate medical care. This order was a replacement for the product I used. As an aside recommendation, QuikClot Sport is very effective when used in conjunction with an 'Israeli-style' combat dressing (easily applied by one person or the injured victim).
