It was a way of closing a wound in a similar fashion but using normal sewing needles to sew thru the doubled over edges of the sticky tape.
Maybe deep cuts are never going to be part of most walkers experience but as a climber I've seen quite a few.
Crampons are very sharp at the start of a climb and if somebody slips and you're in the way you tend to get cut quite badly, ropes etc not much help sometimes. Didn't happen to me, a different party on the way down while in Scotland decades ago. "Och It's only a wee scratch!"
