Believe all you posted Sarge yet you commented on the medical bags they had.

Were these for sale or just demonstration ?

If I was selling Fords then I would tell you Chevy’s don’t run per se ....

BTW last refresher cert class I went to took my surgical stapler away from me saying to pack the wound vs closure to preclude infection.. ? They saying to close the wound now ??

Stay safe !

Just saying ......

Thanks for the info.

Squantos, the gear they had in the room was for display and for sale. They had a bag from Voodoo tactical that they recommended, but the rest of the bags were available on their website.

They have trauma bags, crash kits, and a dental bag as well. Be warned that the prices aren’t cheap by any means, but the gear is great quality.

I’ll let The Bride answer the medical side...

Hello Squantos,

Sarge asked me to answer your question. If you had your fun toy taken away, and was told to pack the wound, then there was possibly signs of infection or the wound was too big or maybe even too deep to close. I'm not sure what type of class you were in but part of making the decision to either suture, staple or pack is to check signs of infection. If the edge of the cut was warm or hot, red, swollen, or showing signs of pus (inside also), you don't want to close the wound until the infection is gone. Doing a wet-to-dry dressing would help the wound to heal (and the person would be happier that you didn't induce more pain). Just remember to clean the wound before you make your decision.
