I want to be a paramedic, so I already collected a huge medical kit,devided into 2 trauma-backpacks. In this kit I use 3-0 Ethilon suture kits.
The trauma-backpacks aren't for survival use, it's just a hobby. I wouldn't reccomend suturing in a survival situation, because of the infection-risk, so I would use super-glue and lots of antibiotic ointment and betadine.
I believe that if you use duct-tape on a wound for a time, it can cause a allergic reaction(???).

Just stick to your Band-Aids <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
