Title: ZipStitch. Anybody have or used one?
Post by: RSN172 on December 06, 2018, 09:14:23 PM
I read an article about zipstitch in the new USCCA magazine and decided to order some for my first aid kit.  A bit pricey, but USCCA members get a 20% discount and it still is a lot cheaper and quicker than going to the emergency room to get stitched up, especially if you live in the boonies of Puna.  One kit will stitch up to a 1.5 inch cut.  I bought four kits.

Website is ZipStitch.us

Looks cool if you can't make it to a hospital for a few days.  But you should still go.

I live on Oahu and have access in minutes if needed.  So duct tape, or just holding a wound close will work just fine.
