Default Blood clotting agent

Copying this from my introduction page, just in case any trainers want to offer comment:

Looking here to see whether there's an interest in the equestrian/training/vet community in a hemostatic (blood clotting) agent called CELOX, currently used mostly by combat troops and EMS. The surpassing quality and efficacy of this new product is unquestionable - it's just that I've only ever encountered one situation where blood loss from a wound was the primary - or even a significant - threat to a horse (and that was a horse that got left out for a whole day after wounding himself). Seems that others' mileage has varied - one trainer told me recently that there would be a HUGE demand for CELOX because barrel horses (which she trains) were always getting cut and sewn up... well... I've had some horses get cut and sewn up all right, but I never saw a major artery get severed (which is what CELOX is mainly about) even at VRH shows.

Anyhow, I am in a position to bring a very good product to the horse/large animal vet community if there is in fact a demand, so I thought I'd ask around here. Having a deep interest in horses' welfare, at least I know it's the best stuff for the purpose even if the purpose is an exceedingly rare one. If it's not a rare one, then I think I should try to get CELOX into the hands of those most likely to need it. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences, and advice about where best to discuss this on HorseChitChat.

Thanks for your feedback!
