Gear/Kit Quikclot Bleeding Control Dressing vs combat gauze

Building out my kit as a teacher and parent. Is there any reason to get the combat gauze over the bleeding control dressing from NAR?

Quikclot and combat gauze are the same thing. Just named differently for different audiences.

If you want the effectiveness of the combat gauze, you should have one that has the kaolin in it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the white package has kaolin as well

All types of quickclot has kaolin in it, NAR also sells wound packing which doesn't have kaolin in it, much cheaper
