SEAL PRO Stopped an Arterial Bleed at an Indoor Training Event

I’ve been a medic for 35+ years: NYC EMS, NYFD, City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, and federal emergency operations. I’ve used nearly every clotting agent on the market. I’m also a Stop the Bleed instructor.

About four months ago, I was at an indoor training event. Someone was showing off a brand-new custom knife. Within minutes it had sliced through a bystander’s hand.

We attempted to place a tourniquet high and tight, but the blood flow was too fast. I grabbed SEAL PRO from my range bag. Used with direct pressure, it materially slowed what appeared to be a deep vein bleed and arterial nick to a manageable trickle within seconds.

I have never seen a clotting agent work that fast, that effectively, in a real situation.
