Any player may call an injury time-out for a player who is bleeding or has an exposed open wound.
This time-out takes effect when the call is made (i.e., is not retroactive to the time of injury). If the disc is in the air or the thrower is in the act of throwing at the time of the call, the time-out begins when the play is completed.
The injured player may return in accordance with VII only after the affected area is effectively covered.
