First Aid Essentials for Climbers - (Celox & Celox-A)

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

You may be aware of this, but steristrips are great.

 

You can hold together quite bad cuts with them. Not the really big ones this thread is about.

 

Hospitals use them instead of stitches a lot of the time. You can buy them in boots.

 

Stuck a hedgecutter in my arm not so long ago, patch up with steristrips, rollup and strong coffee for the slight shock, then back up the ladder and on with the job. Had to do it on me tod too, sorry AA Paul (H&S wise)

 

 

edit: at least I've got a good first aid kit and a fire extinguisher:thumbup1:

 

end of the day, we get the bills paid FIRST, the rest after, no matter what, thats life.

, ive used celox a few time on bullet wounds and blast injuries and it works an absolute treat.

 

Blimey, you must work on some rough sites!
