Boo Boo Kit - Formal Attire
Boo Boo Kit - Formal Attire
Our Boo Boo Kits are a modernization of the traditional first aid kit.
Traditionally, first-aid kits have been a pile of single-use consumables that attempt to cover too much of the first-aid spectrum by using many sizes and shapes of bandage.
By contrast, our approach is to separate first aid into 2 domains, First, there are traumatic injuries. traumatic injuries are life-threatening and require immediate life-saving attention. Secondly, there are "Boo Boo's" which include things like scrapes, cuts, slivers, minor debris in the eyes, ticks, etc.
Our Boo Boo Kits take a tools-first approach and minimizes consumables. This reduces both the bulk and frequency of restocking the kit's consumables. This makes our kits perfect for sustained operations/activities such as through hikes, hunting trips, deployments, or just daily life.
The heart of the kit is a 3D-printed spool that contains a Fresnel lens on the inside as s magnifier for dealing with slivers or an emergency fire starter. The spool is wrapped with 15 turns (~6t) of Leukotape P and 2.2 yards of Transparent film dressing tape.
Leukotape:
Leukotape is a staple of the backpacking community. This fabric tape is tough and super adhesive and is often used as a buffer between skin and equipment to reduce blistering due to friction hot spots.
Caution: Leukotape has been known to cause allergic reactions or severe rash in some cases please test a small piece for reaction before first-aid use.
Transparent Film dressing tape:
Transparent film dressing is waterproof, and breathable and has become the new gold standard for wound care and tattoo aftercare. In addition, strips of the dressing can be overlain to cover large areas for injuries like large abrasions. this is a great benefit as traditional bandages had to be larger than the abrasion area leading to very large bandages needing to be included in first aid kits.
