Kind of cool, if expensive. https://zipstitch.us
@techieman33 If I'm reading you correctly, something to pack with you when you're trekking through no mans land with your pack on your back, your snow-shoes, your canoe overhead and you accidentally cut yourself with your hatchet while collecting fire wood rather than when you're in charge of your crew with your cell phone in your pocket, in the heart of a thriving metropolis and 911 paramedics minutes away in our current lawsuit happy age? Am I correctly paraphrasing your post??That looks pretty cool. Maybe something for the personal first aid kit. Not something I would probably want to keep in the kits at work though. Maybe something stashed away in someone's office for when it's really needed to be used. I imagine a lot of them would get wasted on cuts just to "try it out." And more would probably walk away in peoples' pockets.
For myself, I mean if I'm the wounded party, $29.95 makes sense compared to 911 and ER. Health care is not free just because you dont pay out of pocket.@techieman33 If I'm reading you correctly, something to pack with you when you're trekking through no mans land with your pack on your back, your snow-shoes, your canoe overhead and you accidentally cut yourself with your hatchet while collecting fire wood rather than when you're in charge of your crew with your cell phone in your pocket, in the heart of a thriving metropolis and 911 paramedics minutes away in our current lawsuit happy age?

@Van No doubt dental floss would be a useful adjunct figure-eighted across the splinters then wound up with a toothpick to increase the tension and pull 'er together. I think I'm catching on.Pffft, Pffft, Pffft, shove a bunch of big splinters through each side to hold it together and get back to work!
@GreyWyvern and @Jim Norton Of course you may need shop air to fire the really long crown-topped staples all the way in.
Perhaps but since its basically a wilderness first aid not sure the carpenters will get yo it.@BillConnerFASTC - now the guys are buiding the Connerstein Monster out of your first aid kit and scene shop supplies... I'm not sure any good can come from this so I'm stocking up on pitch forks and torches.
@TimMc With a pneumatic wide-crown, right?Or we go to the Props Dept for cyanoacrylate (superglue), to the A2 for a cotton roll and Transpore tape, and to the Carp for gaff tape exterior.
Or go to Wardrobe for a zipper and get the apprentice carpenter to staple it to the wound...
