OK. Like a surgical dressing, but impregnated with kaolin. Kaolin, a
purified clay, very, very strongly promotes clotting by providing a surface
that the clotting factors can adhere to. I believe it was developed to
assist in stopping bleeding on the battlefield. Or at least that is a
practical application.


kaolin is a common clay, used in pottery production.most probably
probably used it for injuries hundreds of years ago. i also use it as a
glass separator (so glass doesn't stick to things at high temps).
