I do know that the military used to teach that moistened bandages are used on "gaping gut wounds." You take the moist bandage and make it into a pouch, place the casualty's intestines inside said pouch, tape the pouch to their stomach, then cover the whole affair in the plastic wrapping of the bandage. That is what we were taught as part of our GQ bill, but may not be what the Army is doing these days with all the new medical advances. It takes a little while for the Coast Guard to catch up, most of our stuff/techniques is surplus from the Navy...

hope that description wasn't too graphic, it is just what we were taught
