They are not very common in First Aid Kits, so this is why I'm wondering if they have proven themselves to be useful in the field.

I would use them as means to control heavy bleeding from gunshots or stab wounds.

I've read from soldiers that you want the hemostat impregnated gauze, not the granules themselves. The granules can get into the bloodstream and cause blood clots. The gauze clots it on the surface.

Just what I read though. No actual usage experience.

That does sound like a legitimate concer when you think about it. Is this the Kaolin gauze?

Yep. I think that's what Quickclot is. Quickclot bandage and pressure.
