The recommended procedure for the transportation of a severed limb to the hospital is to wrap the limb in sterile gauze, seal in a plastic bag and keep the limb cool.

Care for the completely severed limb :

  1. Recover the severed limb, if possible, and transport it to the hospital with the injured person. If the part can't be found right away, transport the injured person to the hospital and bring the severed limb to the hospital when it is found.
  2. Gently rinse off dirt and debris with clean water, if possible. Do not scrub.
  3. Wrap the severed limb in a dry, sterile gauze or clean cloth.
  4. Put the wrapped limb in a plastic bag or waterproof container.
  5. Place the plastic bag or waterproof container on ice. The goal is to keep the severed limb cool but not to cause more damage from the cold ice. Do not cover the part with ice or put it directly into ice water.

Care for the part of the limb where the amputation happened:

  1. Stop the bleeding.
  2. Elevate the injured area.
  3. Wrap or cover the injured area with a sterile dressing or clean cloth until medical treatment is received.

Care for a partially severed limb :

  1. Elevate the injured area.
  2. Wrap or cover the injured area with a sterile dressing or clean cloth. Apply pressure if the injured area is bleeding. This will slow the bleeding until the person receives medical care. You don't want to cut off the blood flow to the severed limb, so pressure needs to be light—just enough to slow blood loss.
  3. Gently splint the injured area to prevent movement or further damage.
