They open inside and produce a big exit wound. wouldnt it be better to have a large entry AND exit wound? blood gushing out 2 sides.

they actually do open as the enter the animal the sharp tip starts the process and as the blades hit the hide they are forced open because of the way the end of the blades flare out this affects the blades like a switch blade knife that makes a 2inch hole then enters the body cavity and slices the lungs heart ect leaving also leaves this 2inch hole, with a well placed shot I have not had to go more than 100 yards and found my deer. that is after waiting 1 hr after the shot to pursue.

It starts to open on impact. Internal damage is massive. Never had anything travel more than 75 yrds. And that was a 225 lb hog. The swacker broadheads do what you want. Cut 1 in going in and 2 in coming out. Hope this helps safe hunting to you sir.

The short answer is yes. The real answer is: you need a 2" fixed blade broadhead to do that; two inches of blade on the front of your arrow will act like an airfoil to push your arrow in random directions. The certainly won't fly like field tips like Reapers do. You will need to practice with the broadheads you hunt with so you know where they are going to go when you shoot at a deer. Practicing with braodheads tears up your targets and your broadheads. Buy the "Buffalo Silver 3 Fixed Blade Archery Broadhead 100 Grain Compatible with Crossbow and Compound Bow 6Pcs".

They are supposed to over-hang the entrances. Sort of like an awning to further protect the inside where the food is. They are optional, to keep rain and snow out of the openings.

Yes, this is a lethal weapon. It's hard to place a shot exactly where you want it. If you miss the head, or heart lung area, then you are just going to wound the animal. It will probably run away wounded, while you are reloading for a follow-up shot. You can't reload in two seconds.

It might stop bodily fluids frm getting in your face but it certainly isn't air tight! Surely the medical profession would have a better choice!!

I would check with the doctor's office before putting thi on an open wound.

Yes, this means there is what is called bleed from one one connection to the other. I would request to exchange it.

i am not sure but if i were you i wouldn't buy it , it is dangerous. i sliced a piece of my nail off and thought i was being careful. i know someone who ended up in the ER with bleeding that wouldn't stop. this thing is dangerous.

The feet on the dead unit are as you described. The rubber inserts are on the front legs. There appears to be a place for them in the back feet. Maybe it was a cost reduction.I suggest that you put felt pads on the back and then check that the unit is level. I have quartz counter tops and do not want it scratched.As an aside, I got the unit apart and while the wiring was not burned and the electrical area was clean, the temperature control seemed to have burned up. The part may be replaceable only if you have a quart of blood and transfusion kit; unfinished edges are yet another cost reduction. Be very careful when picking the unit up.Now to get some stiches in the back of my hands and fingers-OUCH! . The feet on the dead unit are as you described. The rubber inserts are on the front legs.

It comes out in a V, however, one of my co-workers cut it in half. We use them for treatment with patients. It very clear as well.

We covered this in EMT training recently, and the First Response has more of the active hemostatic agent.For what it's worth, all of our local squads carry QuickClot Combat Gauze.

Wounds and their dressings vary. If you are@ under a doctor's care, consult him. Could be as much as daily or more often, or possibly after several days .

I don't know if it would help. My thought is that you should focus on placing the gauze quickly and correctly first , then evaluate if additional measures are needed. If you try to both at once, it may waste valuable time.

It is the final.Not much room for error. Be careful with drain opening very sharp. Received four stitches..

The size of the bandage really only depends on the wound. I've never planned to have any certain size or kind of injury, but it would be safer to have both, just in case. The six inch can be a little bit too big for the average medical kit when added to the assortment of other bandages, ointments, adhesive tapes, splints, painkillers and so on, but even more so if you have more than one of these bandages. The good news is, that regardless of size, they are sterilized and vacuum sealed to take up the least amount of space possible. I personally like the 4" more just for the simple fact it is easier to work with regarding pad and strap manipulation when applying the bandage. Also, if you ever have an instance where this dressing needs to be used as a tourniquet, the shorter width pad gives you precious seconds more to tighten down not only the pressure because your working with less surface area, but also with the length of the straps. The 6" pad takes longer to work as a pressure dressing or tourniquet and the straps are very, very long. The straps on the 4" are already long enough for any injury that they might be used for. And remember, If the vacuum seal is broken and you can squish the bag in your hands easily or even hear crinkling noises when handled, the item should be returned and you should get your money back, because the seal has been compromised and the package is no longer sterile, therefore it should never be used unless for tourniquet purposes only and there are no other sterile means of helping the injured individual right away.

I agree with the other reviewer, just overfill a couple of pounds. Not much air should bleed out unless you have a faulty valve.

I agree with the first answer you received including the analogy. You can lessen the tension to the point that it will barely close at all. I can see not reason to have a closure on both sides of the door with the information you provided for having this need.
