CELOX - is a great product, if you haven't seen this stuff before.

 

It can save your life and is available from Gustharts.

 

Celox Products

 

Celox was designed for large wounds and arterial bleeds etc putting it on a small cut from a silky can be dangerous! And expensive!

I don't normally look at these blood and gore threads.

 

A few good cases for steristrips snd one or two that are beyond help.

 

I had a guy in Spain with his fingers mangled like that bad one from a dog fight he tried to break up.

 

I think that in this sort of case it helps to have a calm voice...someone that's on the case.

 

It's beyond first aid but you can get a dressing on of some sorts, take control and make a beeline for hospital.

 

The injured person will be in shock and it will help them to know that someone is on the case.

Crown reducing tree few years ago, nowt special when i sawn through branch and silky ended up on top of my other hand,did't think too much of it until i relised i had severed a tendon, 6 weeks off climbing, hand never quite same again. Silky saws are great but need to keep plasters close by

[jamsterraskal]

that's the exact same thing that i did makes you think more about your work positioning dosen't it lol

this is the one i did awhile back with a silky 5 stitches to put it back together i dont mind stitches but the anisetic thing they use to try and numb the finger is awful they pump so much fluid in the finger i thought it was going to explode.

That's a reasonable cut that:001_smile:

 

Steristrips are expensive though mate.

 

I can get 2 cuts like that out of one steristrip:001_smile:

 

 

By the way I was first aid trained as a scuba instructor, but cut my teeth patching up loads of bad cuts etc on the free party scene in the early 90's with wasted falling over people. Quite a bit of it was quite messy and I got loads of complements for my patching skills from various A&E departments:001_smile:

 

 

I was with Spiral Tribe and my old VW was the go to ambulance / ambiance:001_smile:

here's mine, silky... cutting up some willow, jumped off the wood and pulled it back across my thumb. Think I damaged nerves because it still doesn't feel right and I did it last year, nasty scar too.
