Powdered bloodstopper being applied to Gaeta's leg (TRS: "Faith").

Bloodstopper is a generic term for a powder-based cauterizing agent used to prevent wounds from bleeding in an effective way. It immediately cauterizes gun-shot wounds and other types of bleedings. As the process creates heat, morpha is used along with it to ease the pain. Packets of the cauterizing agent, Hemostatik-A, It is included in standard Colonial Fleet medkits (TRS: "Faith").

  • The idea of bloodstopper comes from writer Bradley Thompson[1].
