I don't have it in mine as I'd rather use direct pressure or a pressure dressing. One thing that often isn't mentioned on these threads is that I would imagine that in theory the haemostatics would come into their own in a situation where casualties with arterial bleeds outnumber the first aiders? Though I don't think I've heard any first aiders I've met cone across anything like this so probably the preserve of armed forces medics.

To answer to the OP - no.

And for the record:
1) sedimentary process are geological processes
2) Karst has nothing to do with ignious rocks. It is a landscape formed formed by water disolution of the bedrock - predominately carbonate base rock - limestone / dolomite
3) Chitosan will never become limestone as it is polysaccharide produces by the removal of the hydroxyl group from chitin. Its nothing to do with CaCO3
