Quik Clot and Celox both have UV indicator which aids medical personnel in irrigating and cleaning it out of wounds.
Plant materials like pepper and sage require mechanical debridement to ensure complete removal of foreign material in the same manner as removing dirt and debris from a contaminated wound.
Celox and Quik Clot are MUCH easier to deal with.
Celox is much safer for untrained people to use and causes fewer complications.
Quik Clot is also very effective and when used in the pre-treated gauze such as the Sport 25g Compress widely sold over the counter in the US, is relatively safe, but the loose granular material is NOT recommended unless you have been trained in its proper application and use.
