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
and would burn veins closed
god damn
@5W can you remember the name?
quikclot
there we go
Quikclot
OG quikclot was just a powder that caused a lot of deaths
that's why it's impregnated into bandages now
Yeah now it’s only in a z fold gauze
I have some OG quikclot if anyone ever wants to die
But the original formula also burned the shit out of you
yeah
Because of the reaction
doesn't it still?
The new shit doesn’t cause an exothermic reaction
I thought the whole point was that it cauterizes the wound chemically
ah
Oh hey
If I have a bullet in me, cauterizing the wound probably won't hurt much more if a hot bullet already destroyed the nerves.
It's that fucking literal bullet-wound turkey baster
