I think we should be able to use duct tape to stop bleeding in the same way you can craft makeshift bandages from rags.
Duct tape can be used to fix everything, so why not people? They’re already sticky so they’re just oversized bandaids, plus the added strength will help putting pressure on the wound.

You can already use them in the bandage crafting recipe.
