I would want to clean a wound and close it in a sanitary environment than try to use one from a FAK
If you have a cut that requires it better to apply pressure-guaze and close it up in the proper way |

I can see the benefit after surgery or for an injury where you were in the hospital or home since it can be adjusted but I don't think that would work well in a less than ideal situation.
Unless you can take it easy the high profile could lead to reinjury and in that environment you not worried about a scar anyway. For a IFAK/Survival med kit plain old steri strips would be much better.. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm just looking at them as possibly a better option than steri-strips. IMHO if your only looking at some pain, inconvenience, and a nasty scar I will take all of those over going to an ER when out of your area. They treated us like shit, they billed our insurance and we had to pay the co pay for them to add the same steri-strips we were using the whole time. We wasted time and money for the same result that we would have had if we didn't go. Sure they cleaned it but when its going to reopen a few hours later then did it really do any good? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder how much better they work then regular steri-strips plus the hardening glue... My wife cut her finger pretty good in the desert this past year and due to various circumstances it took us more than 16 hours to get to an ER... They refused to give her stitches, so we dealt with having to apply new steri- strips multiple times a day to stop the bleeding. She had to deal with an open wound for weeks after as well.

Healing by secondary intent was the safest thing most likely. |

Looks like an interesting alternative to the traditonal steri strips or butterfly bandages.

I prefer duct tape or gaff tape to steri-strips even in a office setting as they to don't seem stick without a ton of glue.
I like the idea of these but do they stick? If they need to come off how tough is it? We have a place 1 1/2 hours from the ER so I tend to handle my own shit but with the grand kids those DILs sure are picky. |

"The same tech used in hospitals..."
Worked in hospital for 22 years and never seen this particular device. It looks useful for temporarily approximating wound edges under ideal conditions. Note that none of their wounds in the video are bloody, or really deep. I imagine it's effectiveness would depend on wound and skin prep prior to application. If a person is especially hairy, covered in dirt and debris, or very greasy or sweaty, adhesive closure devices will fail quickly. |

If you are going to keep these you should pack them with plenty of cleaning/disinfecting solution, sterile wipes and disposable razors. |
