Wound Packing: Everything You Need To Know (and How To Do It)
When it comes to massive bleeding, not every injury can be treated with a tourniquet. Tourniquets are designed for arms and legs, but they won’t work in junctional areas like the groin, armpit, or neck. That’s where wound packing becomes a lifesaving skill. In this video, we break down wound packing for junctional areas and demonstrate the correct way to stop arterial and venous bleeding. The goal isn’t to form a clot, it’s to create enough direct pressure inside the wound to collapse the artery or vein and control the bleed until higher medical care arrives. Whether you’re a first responder, a prepper, or a parent, understanding wound packing can mean the difference between life and death.
