The kit uses a Loksak Bag, you can cut the corner off it to use it as a makeshift irrigation bag for lavage.

Each item in the kit will have further details by clicking on them once we get them added.

Instructions:

Tenacious Tape: Recognized by many as the best way to stop hotspots from becoming blisters. Significantly better than Duct Tape.

Silicone Tape. Is non-sterile, but makes an effective bandage when used to cover a sterile dressing, or can also prevent blisters on toes or fingers. As it is non-adhesive it does not irritate sensitive skin but you must wrap it around a limb or protrusion. As the ends will fuse when you overlap them, it will not come off easily like a plastic bandage does. While the manufacturers claim it is impervious to oil, while the tape itself may be, we have found that if you get the fused ends covered with copious amounts of cooking oil, they will let go. The fused ends are not affected by water or sweat.

Picking a Kit:

Price: $24.95
Weight: 180g (ignore the label at left, it just gained some weight, a common enough problem).

While this kit covers two people, it assumes that you're both not unfortunate enough to get the same injuries (except for blisters) at the same time (avalanches notwithstanding). So what it bascially does is to double up on some of the items in the ULW1 kit and adds the tweezers with the LED light in case one of you has to check pupillary response on the other. The more economical adhesive tape is replaced with Transpore plastic surgical tape (same as Leukoplast), and instead of guaze wrap, there is Coban self adherent wrap, which can be used for holding dressings in place, or as a muscle wrap for taping knees, etc. We have also just added a syringe for tasks like draining blisters or irrigation, and Medfix porous adhesive fabric that is large enough to completly cover up to 4" dressings, and another non-sterile guage bandage.
