Gee Cayenne Peeper will sanitize the wound and stop bleeding ultra quick and Pine sap will seal the wound and is also easily excepted by your body and breaks down naturally without adding alien amino liquids to your blood stream. Somehow I dont think I will wait or ever use this new product. After all these medical experts are the same people who tell you that using ultrasound is perfectly safe on babies.

Humans and animals have been using many types of methods and materials to close wounds and stop bleeding. Even saliva can help. Band-Aid had a liquid bandage product on the market several years ago that was quite effective, but didn't sell well. I bought and used it. When I went back to buy another package, it was gone from the shelf. Maybe since this new product was announced, Band-AID will try again.

I can see a definite application in Emergency Medical Services where immediate bleeding control can mean the difference between life and death. Today, we have "quick-clotting" powders which can be used (depending on local protocols and standing orders from the EMS Medical Director), but the use of which requires surgical debridement and repair at the receiving Hospital.

Currently, EMS protocols can differ from state to state or region to region...and at present I know of none that include Cayenne Pepper or Pine Sap. Surely they would be a lot neater than "Quick-Clot" which requires surgical intervention, but changes to EMS protocols are often slow and politically motivated.

I always use a product called Nu-Skin (not sure if it's by Band-Aid or not, but I have no problem finding it.) It's a liquid that seals when it dries, heals really fast, and stings like the dickens! LOL

Ah the joys of Nu-Skin!! I remember the first time I got a floor burn from "roller skating" and someone came running with the spray can, they could've just dropped me in a vat of alcohol!

hey think of the amount of blood that can be saved. I wonder if this is truly safe, and can be ulitized in emergency situations. Think of the gallons of blood that can be spared and the lives that can be saved. Although then we'll have to do some serious population control, cause we humans are about to over run everything.

Liquid Band-Aid is still out there, as is Nu-Skin. Maybe your drugstore just didn't decide to carry it anymore, but you can find it at almost any of the large chains. I use it a lot for small scrapes and cuts on my fingers and hands since it's waterproof and lasts longer than traditional band-aids.
I think this is a potentially great discovery and would work a hell of a lot better than pine-sap (which I've used...also the juice from milkweeds...they're fine in an emergency in the woods, but I wouldn't want to rely on them).

I wonder if it can actually stop "any" bleeding, arterial bleeding tends to push away most other liquids. That's why pressure is applied to the wound.

to the first person here one does need to rember that the body is made up of amino acids so that would be a good thing

I have been using NU-Skin for many years. The military has been using it for a long time as well. They use it on the battlefield to treat wounds, although they mostly use the spray can version of it, since the wounds need large coverage.
The burning is caused by the alcohol in it, a necessity, since more than one person will use it. If you use it on your cut, and someone else uses it on their cut, you need to kill the germs from the first application, so the second user doesn't get your germs.
A co-worker got a nasty scrape on his hand at work, and he was looking for a band-aid to put on it. I suggested Nu-Skin, which he had never heard of. Intrigued, he decided to try it, but only after asking me if it would hurt. I told him no it wouldn't hurt, so he applied it to the scrape.(I keep a bottle in my locker.) Several minutes later, after wincing in pain, and calling me numerous names, he finally got over the pain, and said, "I thought you said it wouldn't hurt!"
I said, "I lied..."

where can i buy it?

Impressive...! As a doctor and a mommy, this product will help me doing my job. I hope, this product will on the market soon..
