Sutures are for closing wounds, not stopping massive bleeding.
Exactly... If the wound is clean and the bleeding has stopped then your work is done. Closing the would via tape, glue, sutures, staples or whatever else only serves two purposes that I can think of. 1) It makes the wound less likely to repopen. 2) It minimizes scarring. Reason 1 (preventing the wound from reopening) is my primary reason for carrying the butteryfly strips (and sometimes glue) with me in my kits, though the secondary effect of reducing scarring is nice too.
