Say , as in the video above , you determine your self in a subway station , bleeding profusely from a newly discovered hole in your weapon system . Rather than just ride there and hemorrhage to death , you pull out an ITClamp . It ’s a sterile charge plate machine , about five cm longsighted with two wrangle of lock phonograph needle teeth , which persist along each side of the wound and provide the hold to pull the flesh closed .
