The ones I bought do caution against exposing them to freezing temperatures and temperatures in excess of 104F/40C. So maybe, this is not an item to keep in a vehicle.
I agree that they are a normal item, not really a trauma item. However, a member of one of my crew's years ago might disagree. Some helped him keep two of his fingers.
