After getting a nice gash hiking, and not having neosporin or bandaids on me I want to put together small single use booboo kits.
Need source for the small individual packed packet of meds. All I can find is the office dized boxes of 144 which will expire before I can use them all.
Ideas for tiny booboo kits appreciated too.
Look at adventure medical kits. They have small refills of the med packs.
Look at medical supply houses like this, if there's one close to you:
Mountain View Medical Supply
5076 W. 58th Ave, Arvada, CO 80002
(303) 455-1300

Following, I was just thinking earlier I need a decent med kit for my "satchel", will likely end up with one of the small adventure medical kits, but interested in what you guys have to say.
It seems like Rapid Fire Bunker used to carry a pretty good supply of these types of things.Quote:

Check the travel size racks at your local drugstore, walmart, etc..
You could also stop by the airport, they sell them there, but the price will be HIGH.
Yeah, I was basically directing that at you. Not a convenient location for OP or 00tec.Quote:

Next time you're at the MD ask about samples. Sometimes they have packets.

I just assemble my own in these.
They are small, pack easily, and the pouches are great for other things too.

My little scratch led to cellulitis and a nice 3x3 infection, leading to a MD visit and some cipro.
Here is the list for the dingle use packs I am considering.
1x antiseptic wound wipe
1x triple antibiotic
1x hand cleaner
2x 3x3 gauze, or maybe 2x2
3x bandaids that fit within gause footprint (dual duty, for small scratches or to attach gauze )
Whole thing needs to be sealed in a vaccum bag setup to make it flat and durable.
Comments, or suggestions?
I am lucky that my work frequently 'disposes' of first aid kits of varying sizes. I put together multiple kits for inside old peanut butter jars then wrap them in para cord. Just scored to 100 person kits that were brand new last week.

They will sell singles for a reasonable price. I've made many purchases over the years from them.
I just ordered some generic neosporin packets and burn gel packets off amazon, already had some acetaminophen and benadryl packets but might need to check the expiration on them.
My range med kit has a CAT tourniquet, israeli bandage, quik-clot gauze, NPA, chest seal x2, trauma shears, abdominal pad, burn dressing, gloves, ace bandage, medical tape, duct tape, a couple of the quik-clot sponges (purchased before my class with cmalliard, now kept strictly as backup) and a swat-t tourniquet as a backup or for use as a compression bandage. Then in a separate pocket I've got the "common ouchy" stuff: pain reliever packets, benadryl, bandaids, antiseptic wipes, neosporin, etc.

I took a class and picked up one of these kits. Includes tourniquets, etc..
