Sports Physio/First Aid Bag

[physiobob]

A soft collar or two (two different sizes). Some aluminium finger splints and perhaps a wrist guard/splint, ankle support etc. These can be great temporary things to have to hand and also make a good overwrap on taping or bandaging.

I also have a spray can of water for cleaning, a few towels, a stethescope, some foam for a collar and cuff sling, some panadol and its variations, some general purpose massage cream, elastic bandages and some medical assessment forms to keep track of it all as it happens

In terms of my travelling kit I have much much more but that's another story.

hi sophie & physiobob,

good to know that you guys are also associated with sports. well, part-time I work for the local rugby team. rugby at times can be quite demanding, hence in addition to the items mentioned what I have in my kitty are:
gloves, band-aids, loads of absorbent gauze, adhesive tape, tweezers, scissors, a 20cc syringe for sterile saline irrigation, CPR mask, small torch/penlight, some oral rehydration salt, triangular bandage, a small plastic cup and a bottle of normal saline.

well all the best - sophie, as I understand you are just kicking off.

cheers,

thomas
