CURAD Bloodstop Hemostatic Gauze

Took it camping after a friend sliced his hand on a tent pole, and the bleeding stopped way faster than with my usual plain gauze. The only reason it's not 5 stars is the packaging—it's a bit bulky for a first-aid kit.

It did exactly what it says for stopping a minor cut on my thumb, though I had to press for a good two minutes. The gauze itself is thicker than standard ones, which is nice for a deep wound. Just wish the package said how many pads you get inside.

It worked well enough on a small kitchen cut, but the gauze is a bit stiff and didn’t mold to the wound as easily as regular gauze. Takes a little patience to keep it in place, though the bleeding did slow down noticeably.
