I have used quickclot, Celox and HEMCON.
The first version of Quicklot had a lot of negative user feedback about its exothermal reaction (heat generated on contact with patient). The newer versions are the advanced clotting sponge which is packed into the wound and the formula has being refined to produce less heat.
Celox does not produce any heat but is only available in granual form and is poured into the wound. This is ok as long as it is not windy or raining.
HEMCON is the gold standard of blood clotting agents, but it comes with a gold standard price. The 4inc x 4inch (1100mm x 100mm) dressing is around £100.00 each.
All the above can be used with blood containing haparin and warfarin.
