Is this one of those "GD, I cut off my hand shot myself in the back.  What do I do now?" threads?

Probably not going to work. Suppose the injury is round in shape, and in your back?

What's a good way to seal something like that up?

I'm only guessing here, but I'm thinking that would make things worse.

Yup, get close with your feminine side and stick a tampon in the bleeding hole.

I thought he meant if HE was bleeding, and I had to stop it.

If it's ME, direct pressure or CAT, circumstances depending.

Pressure.

The body has normal clotting mechanisms including platelet aggregation and fibrin.

Rag or paper towel wrapped in duct tape or electrical tape. I've done it before, it does work. I have no idea how to replicate QuikClot using common materials if that's what the question is.

Maybe we should just stop changing the bandage and give it a chance to clot up. Sound ok?

CAT to the neck stops all the bleeding

How deep, where is it exactly.  Lung puctured?  How bad is it bleeding?

Puncture?
Laceration?

Pressure is your best bet, then if it won't stop you're gonna need stitches.

Flour or corn starch can aid in the clotting.
Modern tampons are not good for bullet holes. They are designed to absorb blood without it clotting.

Try putting your head in a vise.



If that doesn't work, sprinkle some baby powder in the hallway.
