Teacher: No flashlight or two? With the second one being a Photon Freedom or equivalent , “two is one…etc.”. Also, u might consider a clean, folded, hot ironed, brightly colored bandana, in a zip-lock type bag, for ur back pocket. Multi-use as Bandage , sling, carry bag, smoke mask, tourniquet (with a pen as a windlas), signal flag, etc, including to blow your nose! Wrap a few feet of 2” Gorilla Tape around the bottom of the l bandana baggie and you have hose or electric wire repair tape, bandage holder, temporary clothing repair emergency/ shoe lace or sole repair, dog hair or lint remover, etc. and finally that scion of EDC, the P38 US Army ( copy) can opener that doubles as a screwdriver and line cutter.

Sometimes in first aid emergencies, you must work with less than optimum materials. Especially if significant bleeding is involved, don't worry overly much about sterility. Th victim will perish within minutes if bleeding is not stopped. The hospital can deal with infection, if necessary, later on..
I believe you are correct for bandage sterility, but milk is pasteurized at around 175F for ten minutes or so -depends on the product. I don't thin hot ironing will induce sterility, especially in a back pocket (if it is anything like mine...)
