Hemostats are really nice for pulling slivers.
Also ā€˜roach clipsā€™ Iā€™ve heardā€¦

Too late! I was going to mow (actually use a weed whacker) on the patio portion of my ā€œPatio Homeā€ this weekend.

But are they autoclaveable? Iā€™d like them cleaned in between surgery in my yard.

Only if you need to interrogate them. :scream:

But in seriousness, these ā€œkitsā€ are a dime a dozen on other websites. I like the ā€œzip stitchā€ myself. More expensive per use but safer, easier to use and no numbing required LOL. IF you ARE going to use ANY of these kinds of devices/kits, take a firstaid class. Preferably a ā€œstop the bleedingā€ class. Some even offer suture training.

From an EMT perspective you are much better off with a ā€˜Stop the Bleedā€™ kit, even a cheap one where the tourniquet will not survive more than one use. If you feel a need for one of these then also get a tourniquet so you can stop the bleeding to see what you are doing. Also consider a hemostatic dressing for torso wounds. Now that you can control bleeding you can transport to a higher level of care and NOT do field surgery
