First Aid Kits - Zipstitch?

[Muddyboots]

Anyone use these and thoughts on effectiveness? They have been around and LRH search did not pop up anything. Maybe simple suture replacement? I think I am going to buy for house and pack just for ease of use plus just might be easy button for simple lacerations.

There are all sorts of types and companies but all seem to work same principles.

Thoughts?

Has to be better than Zylocaine and a rotating head staple gun. Probably takes up less room too. Seems like all you would need to do is flush the wound with no need for a Betadine prep.

Id never heard of it before, looks interesting and might be good to have in e-kit.

This is tape that does the job of a suture I assume. I've used this for years with good results and make sure, if close to a joint, apply the tape to work with the range of motion at the joint when applying.
I also cover the wound with bandaids to give added adhesion and protection.
