As a spin-off from the very successful responses from the Tooltubes and the inserts, I have been looking at putting together a First-Aid kit that would be custom made for DS biking.
The company that are making the Bag inserts have shown keen interest, but obviously we are going to be limited as to what can fit.
PLEASE guys.... keep this thread factual.... I have not got the time to sift through comments... and if we can just add or subtract from the list, it would help to get the correct contents for quoting purposes - so would need this list finalised by no later than Monday 25th Jan.
AN ADDED BONUS for the Capetonian WD's is that the same company have offered to do a 2-day full First-Aid Certified course USING the kit that they will supply for under R300.00 - as long as there's at least 10 people... (excludes the cost of the kit obviously) - this means you will know exactly what to use everything in the kit for & how! Interested in the course - add your name here..... https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=43743.0
I have tried sifting through theother first-aid threads and compiled the following list:
• Voltaren Supository - Strong pain killers for broken legs etc. Tramal, or Tramadol – Pethadine ampules
• Antihistamine tablets
• Antiseptic cream, Zambuk will do as an antiseptic cream and also for chapped lips, burns, insect bites
• Backtroban antiseptic ointment (expensive but good)
• Anti nausea tablets
• Anti Diahorea tablets (Immodium)
• Cotton wool
• Lip Balm
• Non-lubricated condoms
• Sugar (for shock)or glucose sachet
• Small cable ties.
• a BIC lighter. (better than matches.)
• Roll of insulation tape (also good to hold bandages.)
• Tube of superglue.
• Sterile water eye drop sachets/ampules
• Rehydration sachets
• Small sewing kit, needle and thread, etc.
• Immobilizer sling
• Staal druppels - stops bleeding instantly.
• 1 triangular bandage
• 2 75mm x 5m roller bandages
• 2 compression pads
• 1 roll elastoplast
• Butterfly plasters for clean cuts
• 1 pack assorted adhesive strips
• 10 assorted safety pins
• 5 sterile gauzes
• Burnshield
• 4 or 5 assorted dressing pads
• 1 small scissors
• 1 Scalpel
• 1 small tweezer
• 1 small dettol/similar or alcohol swabs
• Ranihexall (instead of ENO’s)
• Suntan lotion
• A pair of disposable gloves (for working with blood that may be HIV positive)
• A mouthpiece for doing CPR
• Mosquito repellent
• Emergency blanket or space blanket
• Ducktape
• Sterile syringes and needles
• Cataflam-D
• unscented everyday sanitary pads/tampons
• sterile dressing pads
• Stingoze - for insect bites/stings
• Analgesic tables (Adcodol, Acurate, Codoxol, Inza, Gen-Payne, or whatever is your preference)
