BloodStop® Wound Dressing | 1” x 1” | Hemostatic Gauze Helps Stop Bleeding Quickly | For Cuts, Abrasions or Nosebleeds | 10 Count

My Husband has to take blood thinners now, which make him blood excessively, at the least little prick or scratch. These bandages are now in my tool kit for the most minor incidents. Usually he soaks the first one, but it does stop the bleeding, then I replace it with a new one when he stops bleeding.

The CURAD BloodStop® Wound Dressing 1” x 1” are great. Much easier to use than the powder. Many of our new scouts seem to cut themselves after earning their Tote’n Chip flee some reason. These 1”x1” are perfect for managing these situations.

it works to stop bleeding

A week after I purchased I literally cut the entire tip of my thumb off. We tried these FIRST. However, we didn't apply enough pressure and it kept bleeding through and outside of the bandage. We ended up using a quick clot gauze (which ended up being severe overkill) which are designed for stopping MAJOR arterial bleeds like a gun shot wound to the thigh. These would be excellent for children (they are small bandages) or tiny or minor cuts or pokes that require more than a band aide.

A must have in every 1st aid kit

These are about one square inch, which is perfect for most small cuts. I just sliced my thumb wide open (more than 1 cm in at an angle). It’s the kind of cut where you can feel your heartbeat in the cut, and the blood is pumping out like an overflowing toilet. I’m not exaggerating. After putting pressure on it with toilet paper and then wrapping it with toilet paper and putting a Band-Aid over it (ghetto blood stop, usually works), I realized that blood was pouring out of the end of the Band-Aid all over the floor, seriously, big drops of blood all over the tile. So I went into our first aid kit to find these, put one on the cut after wiping the excess blood off. After a few seconds I noticed blood coming right through the little square, so I thought it wasn’t working, but I waited for a minute or so for it to do its thing and sure enough the blood stopped completely. I wrapped a Band-Aid around my thumb so that it would hold this in place with light pressure. It’s been about 10 minutes since, and there is no blood anywhere to be seen anywhere around or under the Band-Aid; I’m pretty sure I could just take the Band-Aid off right now and it wouldn’t have any chance of bleeding. These little guys fellers magic.

I bought this in CVS and I ran out at like 2am on a random Wednesday night so of course I got more from Amazon! This is one of those "must have" items for me since I get a lot of cat scratches. I cut my finger tip on a metal can lid and it's one of those places where it's hard to put a Band-Aid. It's also hard to keep pressure on it to make the bleeding stop. This product is great for that type of paper cut that is also bleeding heavily. This is a small sheet of material that will stick to the wound and help it stop bleeding. It's more precise than a styptic pencil and easy to cover up with a Band-Aid. So you should be able to cover up a wound like that with less than 1 sheet of this stuff. I cut mine to make it fit better. It does need to stay on so you put this on first, then put the Band-Aid on it. Of course change it everyday and make sure it stays clean. (Don't forget to sing "Happy Birthday" while you're washing your hands!! Stay safe!!) Personally, I don't get nosebleeds, but I can see how this would help someone who does get nosebleeds a lot. It's a small piece of stiff mesh that I think is loaded with styptic powder. You know you don't want to do laundry or even spot treat your clothes after that because you'll be dripping blood on whatever white outfit you put on that day. This product helps keep the mess of cuts like that at a minimum! It makes it quicker to bandage and make the bleeding stop. You'll be done quickly so that you don't have to get your freshly bandaged finger all soggy and bloody again by spot treating your bloody clothes! A+ product for saving your fingers and other small cuts with heavy bleeding situations.

these are ridiculously expensive for what you’re getting in this box. These gauze pads are only 1inch by 1 inch and there are only 10 in the box. So you’re paying over $1.00 each for a 1”x1”, paper thin piece of gauze. Yes it does stop bleeding, but only after you pile 3 or four on top of each other to ao that there’s enough of the material to actually “gel up” and temporarily seal your wound. That’s provided that your wound is the size of an American dime or smaller, because even a penny sized wound would be a struggle to cover with these tiny square of gauze. so you’ll end up spending $3-4 every time you need to re-wrap a tiny wound that’s bleeding or draining.
