    I've never understood the black trauma gloves, nor have I ever had a medical professional like them. When you're doing a sweep for blood under armor or clothing, the black doesn't have the contrast for the blood to really show. Kind of like all the medics I know use blue led's for light because the red light doesn't show the blood either.

    Is there an advantage I'm missing?

    Black gloves matter..

    I've got some blue gloves I will throw in.

    Quite frankly if you are shot, I'm not taking time to put on gloves before I try and stop you from bleeding to death.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    Yeah, the gloves wont fit over the boot he will be using to step on the bleeding area.
