Jeanette_Isabelle Carpal Tunnel Registered: 11/13/06 Posts: 2989 Loc: Nacogdoches, Texas	Originally Posted By: MDinana I'd ditch all the packets of antibiotic ointment and just throw a tube of neosporin or bacitracin in, and call it good. If needed, it can be applied with a clean rag, bandage, finger, etc, and rubbed onto the wound. Plus it'll probably have more applications per unit size. Ditch the burn cream. Nothing bacitracin or neosporin doesn't cover. If the burn is bad enough, cover with a dry bandage and evac. As you read in yesterday's post, I went into why I need to keep what was included in the kit as much as possible and a breakdown of the cost of the kit and some added items. Are there situations in which burn cream can be used in place of antibiotic ointment? If so, what are they? After crunching the numbers, it appears the best option is to leave in the packets and add a tube antibiotic ointment. Originally Posted By: MDinana As for bleeding control, quick clot, TQ's, etc. If there's a bad bleed, you can never have enough gauze. A few 4x4's, 2 gauze rolls, and 1 or 2 5x9's will be gone in a heartbeat. It may be worthwhile to have a small trauma kit set aside, but again, may be budget prohibitive. After including the cost of the tube of antibiotic ointment, the cost per kit is $34.95. If I add a second 5” x 9” trauma pad, the cost is $35.14. If I add QuikClot Sport, 25gr instead of a 5” x 9” trauma pad, the cost is $47.94. If I add a SWAT-T Tourniquet instead of the 5” x 9” or QuikClot, the cost is $44.63. Both put me past $40 and QuikClot is approaching $50 and I have yet to include the cost of the medications or the shipping of some items. Something has to go. In the order of most to least important, what are the priorities?
