That junctional type of wound currently requires packing the wound with hemostatic gauze, not guaranteed to be successful, but guaranteed to be exceptionally painful.
One of the fortunate outcomes of the unfortunate casualties of this 13 years of war has been some significant advances in battlefield care. Tourniquet use, junctional wounds, and tension pneumothorax used to mean losing a limb, bleeding out, and having the heart stopped by pressure in the chest cavity. All of those are now survivable.

That’s what I use to seal air leaks around the house. In a pinch, you might be able to plug a hole in your canoe with it.

Sci fi from the Halo game universe coming to a trauma near you. Hmm. How difficult is it for trauma surgeons to remove?

Doesn’t Celox do this already? Available in many forms and strengths.
