      Is this the stuff they spray on soccer players when they look like they got hit by an RPG? They bounce right back up

      If it’s life threatening would this just cause internal bleeding? Wouldn’t it still be better to cut off blood flow with a tourniquet?

    3. I’ll have to see it to believe it. Life-threatening wounds generally have bleeding from large vessels with high pressure. An equal amount of direct pressure is needed to control that. This stuff would have to not only seal over quickly, but also be directly over the vessel in question.

      Not saying it’s impossible, just unlikely.

      I mean it’s like quick stop then….. Because any injury with a blown out artery or major vessel this will absolutely not work for

      I like how the pic for the link is one of those life threatening wounds it can probably fix 😂

    6. When shows and movies start heralding super glue as a way to do this. Big Pharm was surely going to “run studies” for a similar marketable item

    7. I call this bullshit.

      Just the fact that one is bleeding under the clothing alone. Wouldn’t the clothing have to be cut open first?

      Then there are large and extensive wounds that need to be closed.

      Even if you close the wound, the patient moves and it reopens.

      Not that it’s totally impossible, but is it practical? When we’re really talking about life-threatening wounds That means significant blood loss for me. Of course, even a small cut can be life-threatening when it comes to infections.
