Re: Wound irrigation solution recommendations sought
Generally, I don't as a rule close anything. We don't close a wound just to close it, it's bad freakin' Ju-Ju. Especially if your gonna be away from any type of definitive care for a length of time.

All real good advice............Check with your local FD for some free training (you will have to trade time). Also, there will be a book out in December through Amazon E-books, it's called "Ronin Medic" and it'll cover the various hemostatics in a who,what,why,when,where format.
