apache Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Pressure will stop all bleeding eventually, the problem is people keep removing the pressure to have a look and disturb the clot. Steady [gentle] pressure for 5 minutes, without moving the dressing. Any powder will help concentrate clotting factors - this is all the old wound powders are good for.
