This is great I’m going to buy another kit for the camp

DIsclaimer: I am not a medical professional. I am just a grandmother. Partly because of the many years I spent on a small farm, I still try to keep a well-stocked First Aid Kit. This product is a wonderful addition to my Kit. The compact box contains three individually wrapped, sterile wound closure strips. In a situation where a doctor or emergency response aid is not immediately available, having this item on hand could help to slow or stop bleeding, keep a wound closed and clean, and even prevent the need for stitches. The box not only has Use Instructions that are clear, easy to read, and easy to follow, but even has one of those square symbols that allow people with cellphones to access video Instructions. I hope that I never open even one of these sterile packets. I hope that medical help will always be available when and where it is needed. I hope that none of my family or neighbours ever suffers the kind of injury that would need anything more than a standard Band-aid. But it is hugely reassuring to know that in that kind of need, this wonderful product is in my First Aid Kit.

Bought the kit a month or so ago. Since I take blood thinners, I am always concerned about how to stop bleeding if it happens. Last weekend helping my daughter, my pocket knife slipped and I cut a nice 3/4 inch slice in the top of my wrist. As expected it started bleeding pretty heavily, and when my wife saw it, she insisted we go directly to an emergency center and get it stitched up. I said I had something to try first and went to the car to get the kit. We didn’t get the area dry enough on the first try, and the closure strip pulled off, but the second one held fine and stopped the bleeding immediately. With the bleeding stopped, I continued with what I was doing, and when we started home 2 hours later, we stopped at an emergency clinic, and the Dr put 3 stitches to close the wound. The Dr was impressed and said they could probably just use glue, but since I do bleed so freely, I asked for the stitches just to be sure. She said it was probably a good call.

Ok so I got these for our emergency kit/bugout bag. I have not tried them because once you do, well they are one time use. The doctor uses something similar at the hospital and they worked great and these can be used by non professionals/home users with ease. This is such a great concept. Kudos to the inventor.

I haven’t opened the wound kit yet but I think it looks well packaged and from what I have read these are well made and could prove to be invaluable in an emergency situation. I actually ordered 2 for when and if the SHTF.
