stop bleeding


Recommended Posts


Not being funny, but Tampons are perfect for this situation, carry them in my kit all the time, they are successfully used for battlefield wounds. Plug the hole and they are cheap and sterile.

 

 

er... i agree lol but a tampon or pad is essentially gauze anyway. i've seen people keep them in first aid kits for horses with injuries to their legs.

and sure a vets a good idea providing you can stop the bleeding in time to GET to the vet..... direct pressure to the would, dont use a tourniquet unless you want to risk losing the limb..

depending on how small the wound is flour can help slow it down, but i've never tried that.... i would imagine you could risk infection.
