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

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

Literally get to fuck your buddy when he gets shot to save his life

do you thing you could launch a XSTAT turkey baster out of a 320?

it's probably way too long to fit in a 203

It causes a reaction to promote the blood to clot faster
