Thoughts on first aid product for outdoor wound closure?

[carterhobarth]

Hi all! I came across this wound/skin closure product that’s supposed to be good for small cuts or lacerations. Essentially, as long as it’s not a tissue depth wound, just something through the upper dermis, and you’re able to properly clean it, this microMend device can apparently close it up without a problem. Looks pretty easy to use, but I’m trying to consider the situations in which I’d actually have use for it. I was wondering what you all thought about the merits of packing something like this in a first aid kit for shorter day or camping trips vs. longer expeditions. Regardless, seemed harmless to sign up since I'm curious to see what they'll do with their product in the future.

I prefer the platinum first aid kit from Disneyland, myself. But that’s just me.

I've always just injected myself with midichlorians. It's perfect for numbing the pain of losing a hand or something.
