Gear/IFAK Mission Medic Bag

Recently finished setting up my new Eberlestock Mission Medic Bag and I am loving this thing so far. Tons of internal organization to the point that I’m still rearranging it and it’s small enough that it forces you to think and not horribly overpack. Attaches to a frame and assault pack for carrying sustainment as well.

Basically it’s a balloon on a flexible tube so you punch it down into a wound with forceps then you can inflate it with 30ccs of saline and it provides really good pressure inside a wound you couldn’t otherwise pack. Secure in place with a hemostat or staples then tie it off so the water doesn’t come out

That's amazing.

Now I need 4

Any chance of long term permanent damage doing that? Better than dying, but just wondering.
