I'm an infantry veteran with three combat tours under my belt. Been there, done that.
The problem with these sort of fast-clot systems (Quick clot or quiclot or however you spell it) is that they inevitably damage the surrounding tissue and make recovery and healing difficult if not impossible without permanent damage. There's a reason they didn't want us to have any of these systems when we got back to the real world (though I kept a couple for myself). If we used them on civilians, we would probably be sued into oblivion for causing severe damage to the bleeder even if we saved their lives using it.
Just like the other medics here will probably tell you, if this isn't on a battlefield saving lives under fire, I don't trust it.
