The #RhinoRescue package we bought on Monday evening already arrived with the ABC Galicia team in eastern Poland, for inclusion in the IFAKs they’re putting together.

I won’t take back all my negative thoughts about Rhino Rescue’s customer service, but this delivery is certainly much prompter than the previous one.

A Guide to Haemostatic Gauzes:

https://medtree.co.uk/blog/a-guide-to-haemostatic-gauzes/

This article is a couple of years old now, but still provides a good overview of the different types of clotting agents used in #haemostatic gauzes; chitosan vs kaolin. There’s been a proliferation of new haemostatic #gauze products on the market lately, e.g. from #RhinoRescue, but this article remains worth reading.

Finally the remainder of items ordered a few weeks ago from #RhinoRescue have arrived.

They'll be sent into our logistics network for onward delivery this week.

These specific items will be used by a #Polish volunteer medical team working in #Ukraine

There's of course always the opportunity to further support our work via our Open Collective page:
