[QUOTE="Norman, post: 2053028, member: 4232"] A thing to note about tampons is that they are great for absorbing blood, but not great for stopping it. To stop a bleeder that needs packing, a tampon isn't preferable. Some simple Z packed gauze packed to the bone is a much better way to go. Combat gauze if you're fancy. I remember hearing somewhere the Rangers had some issues with tampons and bleeders, from Tacmedic maybe? Coban/ vet wrap is great; however don't overlook an ace bandage. If you don't bleed all over it they're reusable. Something else to consider is the cravat/triangular bandage. They can be used as a sling/swath, bandage, TQ etc. Plus the safety pins can be improvised wound closures, splinter remover, used to hold the tongue out of the airway etc. The only thing to remember is the pins arent steril.
