steve,

...yes, except the product i carry in the field first aid kit is called 'bleed extreme' (from cabelas)...it comes as a powder and is supposed to be sprinkled onto a wound to form a blood stopping seal immediately for emergency (trauma) situations...i would suppose that this seal would be removed at the hospital/clinic for further treatment purposes and for the infection aspects noted...commercial dressing companies such as 'band-aid' offer a similar liquid product for smaller abrasions, punctures, etc...
