How about tampons? Excellent to use for gun shot wounds.
“How about tampons? Excellent to use for gun shot wounds.”
yeah I heard the little OB ones are the best??
Heh lol! You gotta be kidding me?
I think the idea of dressing on a gun shot wound is to stop the bleeding and protect against infection. So you will need a regular sterile dressing against the wound to help the blood clot and be sterile so as to protect against infection (I don't think tampons are sterile).
The tampon is designed to absorb blood, so I would think it would be ok after the sterile dressing, but not against the wound itself.
What about tampons-
I remember using them on occasion when someone came into ER with serious nose bleed. Ready made for the situation.
