Plain tampons work well between fingers/toes, bullet punctures, knife wounds, etc. They are made to absorb blood, after all, menstrual pads work for packing larger wounds. Field medical tricks that don’t take a lot of room in our kits or pockets (3ven if it does seem/look strange for male corpsmen, and medics).

I would also recommend some cellophane or aluminum foil [squares of about 8×8 to 10×10 inches.] to lay over a chest wound, to keep the lungs from sucking in possibly contaminated air… especially before trying to move or transport. I have even used the plastic wrappers that other equipment was packaged in.. And ROLLS and ROLLS of medical grade Tape! Several different widths, but especially the WIDE ones. at least a 1,000 different uses, if nothing more than holding bandages in place, or even securing loose pieces of clothing so they do not snag on something.
I do a lot of motorcycle ‘Escorts’ and group rides… and I always carry a bag of med-supplies in a ‘tank bag’… in case of an emergency.
