Great hemostatic by annie in wisconsin on 1/16/09 Pros: Easy To Use, Effective, Safe Cons: Harsh, Messy Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Keep In The Medicine Cabinet, Quick Fix Describe Yourself: CPR Trained, Medical Professional Primary use: Personal Bottom Line: recommended Being on an anticoagulent, even relatively minor cuts bleed profusely. When 20' of pressure doesn't work, this does. I apply Urgent QR & apply pressure with a small dressing. It forms a crust that washes of the next day. There is stinging when put on but worth it.
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THIS IN THE HOUSE by Connie J in York, PA on 11/13/08 Pros: Easy To Use, Effective, Promotes Healing, Safe Cons: None Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Keep In The Medicine Cabinet, Keep In The Trunk, Quick Fix Describe Yourself: Novice First Aid Skills Primary use: Personal Bottom Line: recommended When I gashed my big toe on a tin can lid I was sure that I would have to go to the ER. I hobbled to the bathroom medicine chest and found this product which I had purchased months before for emergencies since I'm a bit of a klutz. I washed and dried the bleeding wound as best I could and put this product on it. It sealed up the 1 inch gapping wound within seconds. It still hurt like heck but it wasn't bleeding anymore. After about 5 minutes the wound got numb (an extra benefit). The next day, I thought it would be a good idea to go to the doctor. She looked at it and said that I did a good job (Emergency QR did). She gave me a mild antibiotic since it was the wound was starting to look a little inflammed but that was it. I would recommend though, that if you get a bad cut that you see the doctor unless you know that your tetanus shots are up-to-date.
My friend had this URGENT ... by Nicole in APO, AE on 6/14/08 My friend had this URGENT QR at her house, my son fell and split open his elbow, she put this on it and it stopped the bleeding right away, it definitely saved us a trip to the ER, I highly recommend this!
OMG - this stuff is ... by Kacey in Undisclosed on 5/15/08 OMG - this stuff is simply amazing. I recommend that EVERYONE keep this at home and in your cars. It saved me a trip to the ER after a bottled fell and broke over my foot, slicing a big artery. Blood was gushing everywhere, even through applying pressure with a washcloth. Thank god - I remembered seeing this in the house. It stopped the intense bleeding within a minute or less. PLEASE BUY THIS for your safety - you never know when you may need it!
Saved me a trip to the ER ... by Hamid M in San Francisco, CA on 2/27/08 Saved me a trip to the ER for stitches after I sliced my hand open on a tin can in the trash bin two days ago. After bleeding all over the counter and floor I finally poured some of this on the wound and applied pressure for 30 seconds, and the bleeding stopped. Best part, since then I've washed my hands at least 20 times and showered too, and the scab is still on there protecting the cut.
This stuff is great. We ... by Cherry in Los Gatos, CA on 8/22/07 This stuff is great. We were cutting the dogs nails when he jerked (hates having his feet touched) and the nail was cut too short. Blood was spurting out everywhere. We thought we got it controlled with the little kit for the dogs, but he took 1 step and it started up again. I found this sample and within a minute the flow was permanently staunched. Thank you, thank you.
Got nasty cut with my ... by Amy in Undisclosed on 7/17/07 Got nasty cut with my field knife while camping; deep, needed stiches but was 8 miles on foot from my car. It took two doses of the Urgent QR but it stopped the bleeding, added a couple butterfly closures and I was good the rest of the weekend till I got home to see my doctor.
This is the best product ... by Anonymous in Undisclosed on 12/18/07 This is the best product ever! My sister purchased this for myself and my son after I spent the evening in the emergency room with a horrible nose bleed. I have grown up with them and passed it along to my son. After years of torment on having to have my nose packed and cauterized I am pleased to have been given a product that will alleviate this for my son. Just make sure you get a lot of the powder on the stick and it will work perfectly. If you don't, you will have to re-apply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nosebleed QR, December 12, 2008 By J. Mcdaniel (New Bern, NC USA) This is a great product and stops a nosebleed fast. I broke my nose and it was bleeding both inside and out. One of these stopped the bleeding in 15 seconds and it never bled again from the inside. I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars It works., March 1, 2008 By W. Weidner "the Falaise Gapster" (Grand Junction, CO.) Tried several things. This was the only thing that stopped a bad nose bleed.
4.0 out of 5 stars Coumadin User Finds Help, February 19, 2009 By Jerry J. Townsend (California) - See all my reviews I have been on the drug Coumadin to keep blood at a certain consistency since 1990. I have had two heart valves replaced with artificial valves which requires ingesting Coumadin on a daily basis. All my life I have been bothered with nosebleeds. Coumadin makes them much more difficult. The physician's assistant at the Coumadin Clinic in our city recommended Nosebled QR and gave me few samples. Even though I must keep my nose pinched a little longer than the average person, it has been a real boon to my handling nosebleeds. I order several aplications at a time and even carry some in my car so that I can deal with a nosebleed when away from home in case one happens. I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.
