in the ad they show an "arrow" wound, nicely stapled shut, on an unknown, unnamed part of someone's anatomy.

unless it were "only a flesh wound" - can an arrow wound only be a flesh wound? - i would hesitate to close ANY puncture wound unless irrigated with a lot more water than what you typically have to spare out in the woods.

and if you do carry such a thing what are chances the wound would be in a location that you could staple shut yourself? which now begs the question: if not you, who? trust them, do you?

for me, i'll stick with tincture of benzoin and steristrips. with a nice 4 x 4 + gauze wrap to protect, keep clean and absorb any further drainage.
