The Puncture Treatment Device or POGO STICK is an emergency medical device intended to treat serious puncture wounds such as stab or bullet wounds. The device becomes available at TL 10 and higher. The most common variant can be found in military and law enforcement individual first aid kits.
Application generally consists of removing the device from its individually wrapped container and inserting it into a puncture wound and pressing the activator button. The pogo stick deploys a hemostatic foam into the wound resulting in a rapid treatment for puncture related bleeding.
Appearance, the device resembles a spike with a flat head similar to a large nail.
The POGO STICK is in common use within the Imperium as of 1101.
