Save any severed body parts and make sure they stay with the person.

Wrap the severed part in a clean, damp cloth, place it in a sealed plastic bag and place the bag in an ice water bath. Do NOT directly put the body part in water

without using a plastic bag. Do NOT put the severed part directly on ice. Do NOT use dry ice as this will cause

frostbite and injury to the part.

Cooling the severed part will keep it safe for reattachment for about 18 hours. Without cooling, it will only remain safe for about 4 to 6 hours.

If cold water is not available, keep the part away from heat as much as possible.

Keep the person warm.
