Title

Invention Lore - Adhesive Pads

 

 

Description

 

An adhesive pad is a thick piece of cotton gauze that is rectangular in shape with a small flap on one of the shorter ends. It is no bigger than an adult man’s palm. This piece of gauze has jailor’s moss applied to one side so that it would stick to the skin of the injured. The container is a metal tin that is just big enough to contain a single adhesive pad that would be placed face down as it doesn’t cling to metal surfaces.

 

When withdrawing the adhesive pad from the metal tin, the user will need to pinch the protruding flap and carefully place it over the flesh wound, pressing it firmly onto the skin. If an artery was severed, tippen’s root should be applied before placing the adhesive pad atop of the wound.

 

Ideally, once the patient is transported to safety, the user will pinch the flap and remove the adhesive pad without having to roll 15+. After the pad is removed, the medical professionals may continue to clean, suture, and bandage the flesh wounds.

 

Capabilities

 

The invention is used as an extra hand when attempting to clot an actively bleeding wound on an unconscious person or lack of assistance nearby.

 

Great to use on an active battlefield, triage, and an extra hand when treating a patient with multiple injuries.

 

Useful when one does not have immediate assistance from others or no medical knowledge for flesh wounds.

 

Red Lines/Restrictions

 

- Effective when applied to small to medium sized flesh wounds. Large lacerations would require multiple adhesive pads and are less effective.

-Adhesive pads can slow blood flow from an artery, but cannot adequately clot it without an application of tippen’s root.

-The faux stickiness of Jailer’s Moss persists long after the plant dies though not enough to completely immobilise a full-sized descendant, each measure only capable of securely holding 4kg like Velcro before the leaves break. Double the force necessary to lift a ‘stuck’ object is required to remove it from a measure of Jailer’s Moss’ hold or to pluck Jailer’s Moss from it.

-Jailer’s Moss will cling to any solid surface besides metal or glass, meaning pulling it off of one surface with one’s hand will likely render it stuck to a non-metallic or glass glove or the skin of one’s fingers unless a roll of 15+ is achieved. 

-The hooks on Jailer’s Moss are too thin to cause any real damage beyond mild irritation when embedded into the skin and will break long before skin can be broken when it is stretched by pulling the moss off.

 

Purpose (OOC)

 

The main purpose of this invention is to help clot the blood of minor flesh wounds and buy more time for the medical professional if the blood loss is severe. This will be beneficial to medical professionals who are undermanned in triage, emergencies in an unstable environment, and for those who lack medical knowledge for flesh wounds.

 

 It fits well with LoTC’s canon, because it builds further on the lore that was approved. There are not any intricacies or complications in its design. The invention is quite simple by just applying something sticking to a surface and applying it to a wound.

Lovely as always, Bawggie. A valuable addition to medical roleplay, imo! +1
