Useful to preppers?

A sponge~filled syringe designed to close up gaping gunshot wounds in seconds has been approved for use in America*s civilian population. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that the device ~ originally developed for use by the military ~ can now be deployed by civilian first responders to control severe bleeding.

Useful to preppers?
Useful to Chicagoans.
I saw something like this in the “King of NY”.
If I could, would you elaborate on this? Are you saying this head gasket seal would be a sterile emergency equivalent, or perhaps even the very same thing as this FDA approved device.
Sincerely asking. Our Scout Troop shoots rifle, pistol, and archery A LOT, and I work in the public school system some. Having a cheap, effective gunshot or puncture intervention would be fantastic.
For later.
Ping.
We used to carry tampons along with our field dressing- the tampon would be inserted into a bullet wound, then the dressing- now, there are clotting agents and synthetic sponge materials that would plug and clot the major bleeding. Good deal if you can reach the wounds and quickly apply. Could save your life-or that of another.
How many scouts have been shot? Just asking ;/
They’ll need a friend for the Exit wound
LOL.
I will leave the detailed answer for Okie
Which makes it suboptimal for a time when the next hospital visit in unknown.
Only the Tiger Cubs we release from cages that run across the range while we all try to bag them. It’s put a dent in recruiting - Tigers that is. Crew membership is through the roof!
Clotting granules. Come in a pack and have been available for sometime. I guess the syringe is the new thing
This is a good thing to have in time for Obama’s final year in power.
Not trying to troll, but wouldn’t a tampon also work?
I wouldn’t recommend it.
Get some Quickclot.

For larger wounds you can always use tampax.
Seems like an easier application process and a more direct process than Quik Clot. For my needs, I'll stick with Quik Clot and Israeli Bandages.
Does it come in different calibers?
