No thankfully, I haven't had to use the Halo either. Knock on Wood, we run a pretty mundane service here. Lots of nursing home transfers, a few car wrecks that aren't too terrible, and a few Heart Attack patients. From examination of the Halo and of the Ascherman, I don't really see much difference. We changed suppliers about a month ago and they don't carry the Halo so we will be going to the Ascherman to finish filling out our MCI bags.

Excellent Spark!
I pretty much figured that would be the case, but I have only trained with the Ascherman. I have heard of that used a few times by my department. Once, the wound was bleeding so profusely that the Ascherman did not stick. That probably would have also happened with the Halo seal as well. The only issue with the Ascherman is that it appears to be a smaller bandage which might make it harder to stick to a patient due to the aforementioned bleeding issue.
