The last one is a myth, they are awful for trauma use cases and do nothing to actually staunch bleeding
Huh, TIL. Thanks
Of course :)
Only came up recently with the war in Ukraine. Some female Russian officer/leader was instructing new troops/mobiks to ask relatives for tampons for bleeding because the RU military literally doesn't have enough tourniquets everyone.
Yet another reason to not go to war
