Both Quick Clot and Celox come as granules and as impregnated bandage bads/strips. The granules are a pain in the a... but in a battlefield situation they can be poured in the wound. The pads are easier to operate. Quick Clot and Celox both have different chemical properties. IMHO Celox is better - nit cheap but one or two in your kit are useful

ahh these arthritic fingers
I agree, but I have Quick-Clot and Traumadex on hand... What's the old saying? "Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do. Do without."
I still don't want to be the lucky soul sitting in a makeshift ER with a pair of forceps picking the Quick-Clot out of a wound one piece at a time though. If God had wanted me to be a surgeon he wouldn't have made me a paramedic!
