I reiterate my objection to closing any wound in the field under any circumstances. Doing so will only subject the patient to an unnecesary risk of serious, potentially life threatening and certainly limb threatening infection.
Packing a wound is the only suitable way to deal with a wound in the field. It is the course I take with dirty wounds in the office to protect my patients.
