How to Preserve a Severed Finger, Hand, or Limb
_____________________________________________________

1. Gently wash the severed item with water.


2. Wrap it in a moist, clean cloth.


3. Wrap it once more in a watertight material (such as a plastic bag).


4. Keep it cold, but DO NOT FREEZE.
   A limb saved in this manner can remain viable for reattachment for up to 6 hours.
