ROFL.

Salt will shrink the blood vessels unblocking any clot that might start to form, and so that they can leak out faster.

You need to elevate it.



Also, if you cut off the leg at the hip, the blood won't be able to reach the knee.

You need to bandage the wound and keep the leg bent for, dunno, a few hours. Should heal. Elevating it would be good.

 

[wfbberzerker]

get a styptic pencil.

ummm yeah that's a sign that you need help closing the gap... they're called stitches.

And you should get to a doctor regardless... leaving that wound pretty much open like that is just asking for an infection. Doc... ASAP.

ionized? Like iodized but REALLY small?

There's this wonderful new invention called a band-aid. You should look into it.

sounds like something like a LIFE PARTNER parade. lmfao

Cauterisation.

 

[nan0bug]

Duct tape and a maxi pad with some neosporin smeared on it should do the trick nicely,

Oh heavens no! That would require extreeeemely tiny atoms, and have you priced those lately? I'm not made of money! Leave me alone!

Soldering iron would also cauterize the wound.

first thing, get off ATOTO. second, look for a bandage...

 

[upsciLLion]

Try superglue. If that doesn't work, go see a doctor.

 

[thirdlegstump]

I suggest calling a lawyer. You may be able to get some compensation from the bike manufacturer and maybe even the city for putting pavement in a location where you could get hurt, and did. Take some pictures while you're at it.

1. Elevate the leg, and keep the knee steady. Splints may help.

2. Use a guaze pad and apply direct pressure on the wound.

3. After the blood starts to clot, clean and disinfect with Hydrogen Peroxide. Add some Neosporin for good measure.

4. Apply new gauze over wound, and wrap over guaze with a bandage that will not stick to the wound. (ACE bandage, gauze, etc.)

5. Stay off the knee for half an hour to an hour. Until bleeding has a chance to fully clot. If leg is still pouring blood, see a doctor immediately.

Not necessarily. Most superglues out there are toxic, and can bind particles that can cause infection.
