GUNSHOT - Exit, Calf
About this wound
This exit wound presents a large, irregular defect in the calf with exposed tissue depth, heavy arterial bleeding, and significant swelling around the wound margins. The effect communicates severe trauma and immediate life threat to responders, demanding rapid intervention and making it ideal for training teams on hemorrhage control under pressure.
Scenario ideas
- Outdoor active-shooter drill: place this casualty in a public space (car park, train station mock-up) where responders must locate, triage, and stabilise under time pressure and crowd simulation.
- Tactical combat casualty care course: use this wound to force teams to practice tourniquet application and wound packing in a realistic high-stress environment with limited access to the limb.
