Like this?I cut the end of my finger off last year.. (yeah I know) I cut the nail bed. I used inadinefollowed by manuka dressings on it after it had bled for 3 days..4 weeks fully healed. With minimal scar. The nail looks a bit odd on close inspection.

Have you actually used these dressing in real world situations?What I've heard (2nd hand) that is impressing medics in Ukraine is Chitosan products. It is another naturally occurring sugar polymer that acts as a hemostatic dressing/wound packing.
The advantage is that it's a candy floss like material, as opposed to granules or granules stuck to a bandage like celox. Making wound cleaning a lot easier once you get to a hospital.
Also for a 4"x4" single ply of it, it's seems pretty inexpensive compared to things like celox, seems ideal for dealing with self inflicted knife injuries.

My understanding is that chito products are used to stop bleeding whereas Manuka is used more as a wound care/fast healing type product.
Chito works by absorbing water in blood thereby allowing the red cells to clot.
It’s serious kit for serious bleeds that require proper medical assistance to remove.
We've been using honey dressings at work for years
It's not marked as Manuka though
I seem to recall that these dressings are not used for civilians in the UK & not recommended because of the risk of leaving part of the dressing in the wound.My understanding is that chito products are used to stop bleeding whereas Manuka is used more as a wound care/fast healing type product.
