In a memorable scene, Glass cauterizes a wound in his throat by igniting gunpowder placed in the wound. Cauterization is an emergency technique where extreme heat is applied to an open wound to essentially force it to stop bleeding.
“Plenty of people walk around with open windpipes, that's not an injury you can't survive,” says Kass. Glass decides to handle the situation by cauterizing the skin on his neck to close up the wound. Apparently, that's not such a bad idea. “Him burning his skin to heal it and scar it makes sense,” says Kass.
The solution presented in the film is to rub some gunpowder (assuming period accuracy, this would be early 1800's black powder, not the modern stuff) into the wound and then ignite it. Presumably to seal the wound more completely by cauterizing it.
So, to answer your question: No, it is not effective. You are essentially sealing in any bacteria and crud. I know, “The Romans and Apaches did it,” you say.

Why did they put sulfur on wounds in ww2?
Sulfa had a central role in preventing wound infections during the war. American soldiers were issued a first-aid kit containing sulfa pills and powder and were told to sprinkle it on any open wound. The sulfanilamide compound is more active in the protonated form.
What are the effects of gunpowder on the human body?
A major concern is if repeated exposure to gunshot fumes may lead to harmful effects in the long term. These effects may include chronic pulmonary effects and even cancer, which may be induced by DNA-toxic substances such as PAHs. A study by Palmer et al.
However, despite his violent and abusive nature towards his teammates, he did show kindness to his sidekick Gunpowder, as Soldier Boy took him under his wing; and while he did slap Gunpowder around, he wasn't half as bad to him as he was the rest of Payback.
Cauterization has been used to stop heavy bleeding since antiquity. The process was described in the Edwin Smith Papyrus and Hippocratic Corpus. It was primarily used to control hemorrhages, especially those resulting from surgery, in ancient Greece.
Gunpowder misuse is a frequent cause of burn injury in our area. The injuries are mostly minor lesions which may be treated on an outpatient basis, the more serious injuries need surgical treatment.
Other chemicals associated with hunting are gun powder and gun powder pellets which contain nitrates and other toxic chemicals. These can cause irritation of the mouth, upset stomach, and vomiting. Severe symptoms are not expected in accidental exposures. Have a great hunting season but always remember safety first!
Conclusion: Since the anti-hemorrhagic effects of cotton have been proven in various sources of conventional medicine, it can be used in the form of burnt sterile gauze or burnt cotton as a cheap and available treatment in small size wounds with low depth that are not complex and the artery is not involved.
Tom Hardy excels in bringing brooding menace to his role, and Will Poulter is impressive too. 'The Revenant' has much more to it than those things. The action is brutally tense and the story, while deliberately paced and very simple, immerses the viewer in how gripping it is, being intense and emotional.
The song "Six Weeks" by Of Monsters and Men is "inspired by the true tale of American frontiersman Hugh Glass, seemingly left for dead after killing a bear that attacked him." Michael Punke's 2002 novel, The Revenant, is a fictional retelling of Glass's encounter with the bear and search for revenge.
Bridger may indeed have been the youth who volunteered to care for Glass and was then talked into leaving him by Fitzgerald, but the sources above show enough doubt to ward off a conclusion. It seems Glass was not after revenge on the young boy at all and only mildly vengeful towards the second man.
Benjamin, better known as Soldier Boy or just Ben, and formerly known as B.C.L. RED by the Russians, is a major antagonist of the Amazon series The Boys, where he served as one of two main antagonists (alongside Homelander) of Season 3.
Following the story arc where the corrupt superhero problems are dealt with and Homelander and the Seven are defeated, Billy betrays and murders the other members of The Boys and has them killed in order to eliminate all Supes in the world, establishing him as the final antagonist of the series.
"Mother's" Milk, primarily known as MM, is depicted as a regular human (though still a military veteran) with a dislike of Vought and its Supes resulting from a car crash caused by Soldier Boy in MM's youth, which killed his mother, uncle, and grandfather, and led to his father working himself to death as a lawyer ...
In the novel and first film, Rambo appears as a soldier who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and has difficulty adjusting to normal life. He is shown to be prone to violence because of the torture he suffered at the hands of North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War.
Rambo: Last Blood has a critic score of just 31% on Rotten Tomatoes - the worst of any of the Rambo movies - but interestingly its audience score is a far more robust 84%.
Though it's not stated in the movie, it's obvious Rambo suffers from a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder, which is accentuated by flashbacks of being tortured as a prisoner of war during the scene in which the local officers arrest and torment him in jail.
Gunpowder can generate large amounts of toxic gases and particles during explosion and combustion. Smoke inhalation is the leading cause of acute lung injury (ALI), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or even serious respiratory failure in military personnel.
Dogs will likely vomit up the gunpowder they've ingested, which, as Means notes, works as “self-decontamination.” Still, if your dog has ingested gunpowder, be it from a gun casing or a firework, West urges calling a veterinarian for support and care.
Gunpowder is well suited for blank rounds, signal flares, burst charges, and rescue-line launches. It is also used in fireworks for lifting shells, in rockets as fuel, and in certain special effects. Combustion converts less than half the mass of gunpowder to gas; most of it turns into particulate matter.
