#Amputation is a life changing experience, especially involving thumb/fingers.Most important step is to transport the amputated part in a correct way in order to suture back(Replantation)
We get queries from local practitioners & remote places as to how to send it
Often the part reaches in a bad state & is difficult to salvage it as the tiny blood vessels are not viable for restoring circulation.The most common mistake is dipping it in some solution (saline/ water/ Iodine) or putting it directly in ice which is to be avoided.

If there is lot of dirt, the amputated part is gently washed in water/ saline & wrapped in a clean cloth/gauze & put in a plastic cover. It is then kept in an ice container but never directly in any fluid or in direct contact with ice which injures the blood vessels
