I carry the black LE version on duty. I know this video is a few months old but I thought that I should add that the black packaged LE version now also includes the Xray strip per Quick Clots website. So now I don't believe there is any difference other than the color.
Love that you keep your vids short but full of useful info. BTW, Tim over at Everydaytacticalvids gave you a shoutout on his vid on rescue knives published 12 Jan.
IMHO hemostats are fine for the few times they're needed. They're worth the space in my main bag and in my leg bag/CUF kit. But I was a 68W30 in Iraq for 9 months and flew MEDEVAC 4 of those and never used a package of hemostatic agent Don't get me wrong, they're critical when ya need 'em But don't buy a lot 'cause you won't need it a lot. Thanks for the vid showing the difference. That X-ray strip is a critical item for care down the line.
how would you go about removing either of these from the wound? like if the wound needs to be repacked or when the patient reaches a treatment center? great vids. thanks for all the info..
Hey man just wondering is the only difference between the ems version and combat version that the ems version is rolled instead of z folded. Jw noticed a huge price difference between the two
How about dates on combat gauze. I keep those with good dates on my two primary kits, but how about those out of date... are they OK in some secondary kits or just throw them away?
Keep in reserve, it's still gauze and the expiration isn't a magical day that it stops working and Quikclot is mineral based. The date is more to do with the fact that they can't guarantee the sterility of the packaging (same with Izzy bandages) and they're required to have it by the federal government, and almost everything medical related has an expiration date.
ghost Thank You for your reply. My use isn't professional use, so I try to keep a pretty recent as primary, but not worry too much if there out dated ones in other kits. Anyway sterility isn't that much of an issue, because serious injuries tend to have all kinds of foreign material in them anyways.
Nice explanation. Have you done or could you do a video on the Combat Gauze vs. the Clotting Sponge? Sponge is half the price. Just wondering if they are similar in performance. I subbed also
Cool deal, thanks Skinny. I cannot remember for sure, but I'd you haven't reminded nonmedical people of when to use a tourniquet, you may want to. If you have then please disregard this suggestion. Take care Skinny. n
+SkinnyMedic ... People won't look for older videos, cause they are lazy. Your information is so important that having more than 1 video on a subject like that is totally acceptable and needed. (in my opinion) Cmax I really enjoy the information!

You are correct, they changed it up shortly after I posted this video.
But why then LE costs about $10 less than green one on the NAR website if they are the same?
Just ordered a bunch of supplies from your site. Killer price on the combat gauze!! Hopefully everything arrives before I head out this weekend!
thanks, I've been wandering about that for a while
+R.A.S. Tactical Glad I could help
Thank you sir. I was wondering why one was 10 bucks cheaper than the other. Now I know. Lol

+Michael Wilson I will check it out

+loganv0410 Thank you for your service. Second thank you for the input.
Skinny Medic: do you prefer Celox Z-Fold Rapid or QuikClot Combat Gauze?
Thanks Skinny!
+jason boothe Thank you

Awesome video 👍
SM. Well covered. Thanks. Best.
+Tom M Thank you
I have heard quick clot can be really bad for you down the line. Is it true it can clot an artery years down the road and cause you to lose a limb?
Thank you for the video.
+Richard Maunder Thank you
SkinnyMedic Thank you as well I hope to see you in May at the NRA show as I have a book for you to say thank you for all of your videos and help.
