So what, do limbs last longer than we thought?

Yes

yeah

They just assumed that limbs were as fragile as brains?

when it comes to blood loss?

tbh the big thing I imagine is that TQs just restrict bloodflow rather than cutting it off completely

And massive hemorrhage is like the largest cause for preventable battlefield death now so the go to is just slap a TQ on it

might not get as much blood as you need to have regular function but likely can last for a long time because some veins are still pumping thru

Sci-Fi Biofoam sealant when?

never

NOw fucking put on the TQ

I hope you pre-looped your shit

biofoam already exists tbh

I hear this shit causes tons of issues tho

but it's been tested for a bit now

XSTAT

could be just like TQs tbh

Bullet hole tampons?

was basically told that it leaves people "picking out bits of foam from a wound"

Zfold gauze is pretty good for packing

Yeah no, I'm talking about like, that expandable foam you put in walls but body safe.

XSTAT is basically that?

it's literally a syringe of foam that expands on contact with blood inside the wound

yes but it's solid from the start.

Yeah pretty much it’s just not one piece

bruh

are you asking for something to becoming solid when it comes in contact with other liquids?

because that's like

not really gonna happen

maybe if they chopped it into pieces and added a bonding agent.

why would they do that though

that would be stupid

the thing is

if it's liquid

No when it hits air. Like insulation foam. Or it could just be compressed. Like shaving cream that solidifies into a rubbery substance. Might need a safe way to dissolve it though. Good luck finding something that can be used in an open wound.

it'll be carried away into the blood stream

kinda like really early powder wound sealants

can't remember the name of it now

just remember it used to be loose

and would burn veins closed
