Hello,

Happy New Year to everyone!

Does someone have an idea on how to repackage ointment for use in small FAKs? I have Polysporin ointment in a rather large 15 grams tube. I wonder if I could fine a tiny syringe or something in which to transfer about half of the tube?

Any ideas appreciated, as always! ;-)

Izzy has the right idea--you'll never be able to repackage a 15 gram package of polysporin into anything resembling a _sterile_ pack without some know-how and a flow hood <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That being said, if you had access to sterile needles and syringes, you...nevermind. It's just not practical. Try minimus.biz website for single _anythings_.

I do have to disagree about one-time use; unless the wound is huge, often one can fold the top of the foil-pac over and reuse it. It doesn't take a huge glob to cover a typical finger-cut....
