FirstAid Nosebleeds, 5-Count Box

The wound dressing is a strange color but it definitely helps my nosebleeds which are very long otherwise. I’m glad I found this! Another important detail is that it does as it says and doesn’t cause re bleeding upon removal. I’ve had to use more than one but it did stop it quickly and neatly compared to the long time it takes for it to stop naturally with just pinching it.

I was a high school soccer coach for years, and we had players getting nose bleeds from head butts and similar plays (mostly unintentional, thank goodness), but that creates several problems: player can't be on the field while bleeding, blood can't be on the uniform, and it is particularly difficult to stop a nosebleed when players are sweaty and have been running for a half hour or more. After we lost one of our starters for most of the second half of a tight match, I asked all the athletic trainers and pharmacists in our area what we could get. I had seen something similar in the Army as a Combat Lifesaver, but I didn't know how to get it for my players.A local pharmacist knew about these and ordered them for me. I did some research, and they use an extract from algae that makes the blood gel, while helping close the wound in the nose. I have used them numerous time, and they have always been effective WHEN USED CORRECTLY. They do NOT stop blood flow immediately, as some believe. You have to roll the fiber very tightly, and it must be pushed up into the nose so it is right next to the injury (broken skin), then you should apply moderate pressure. In my experience, it takes about 2 minutes for the blood to gel and for the wound to close. If you did not position the pack correctly, it is possible to gel the blood but not close the wound. So, you will pull the pack and congealed blood out, but it will immediately start bleeding again. I had this happen once, with a middle school kid who fell and busted his nose during an exhibition match. He was a little guy, so I had trouble getting it tight enough, and he pulled away when we put it in his nose the first time.Fair warning: if someone is bleeding profusely and you do it right the first time, you may have a large amount of congealed blood that come out with the nasal cease pack. It is often bright red arterial blood, and it will look like a huge glob of bright red, bloody snot. That isn't pleasant, and it should be treated like any other bodily fluid, despite being congealed: bag it, mark it, dispose of in a biohazard waste container. If you aren't comfortable seeing blood, then this part may REALLY get to you (I've had players and at least one parent who were watching almost throw up). The upshot is that every time I've used it, players say that everything slides out easily, and they can breathe much better (sometimes even better than before the nosebleed). Also, if you are using this in a sports setting, this makes it easy to control the blood and keep it from getting all over them and their uniform.I've used it over a dozen times, and I can usually get players back on the field in 3-4 minutes, as long as they lean forward and don't get blood all over themselves on the way off! I also carry it in a small kit for my two young sons, who both wrestle.I firmly believe that anyone who is having trouble with these either isn't using them correctly, or they're trying to use them for nosebleeds that are so far back in the sinus cavity that these can't reach them.

Very bad nose bleed and item worked.

These will actually stop your nose from bleeding. Which is great because I could not get my nose to stop bleeding when it would start even pinching it and trying to do that while working was ridiculous. I just wish there was a few more in the pack for how much it costs

NasalCease is easy to use and does a great job at stopping the nosebleed! Read directions for use when you receive your order so you have a good idea what to do when your nose begins to bleed.

These cost just over $2 for each use since the box of 5 is $11....For a bloody nose I put one in and about a minute later need to put one more in since the first is already saturated. These stop a bloody nose fast but for the cost I don't find it worth the money. Tampons actually work just as well for a nosebleed and I can get them for less than 25 cents per use. These just don't make sense financially

We always keep a box of these on hand! My husband tends to get nosebleeds easily and this is one of the only products that helps in a timely manner. We won't be caught without them.

I truly hope this product has helped others stem their nosebleeds, it did virtually nothing for me. I'd have a nosebleed, it would soak the provided pad, and then continue bleeding. The anti-coaglulant might work for minor nosebleeds, but it does nothing for gushers. Waste of money, I am sorry to say!!
