There are a few brands around and the one that probably "burned" the internal organs (It's not intended to put directly onto internal organs!) may have been Quik clot which used to contain Zeolite beads that caused an exothermic reaction but now they contain Kaolin instead which doesn't burn. There is also Celox and a few other hemostatic agents about. You can get them in powder, granules or impregnated gauze forms. We used to use another version called Surgicel in the hospital when we had wounds that wouldn't stop bleeding or an anticoagulated patient. That worked really well and can be used for internal bleeding too.

It is like you organized and completed my thought.. Quick Clot damaged the liver and Surgicel is what I have seen used in surgery with success
