for small cuts or scrapes
For that you can have a very minimalist FAK. You can have a couple of band-aids in a couple of sizes, a couple of anti-bacterial wipes, and a couple of appropriate gauze pads/bandages for scrapes. All of this will fit in a sandwich-sized (or smaller) ziplok, and be very flat. Being flat, you can pack it anywhere. This is what I carry in my Man Sack (Maxpedition MPB), and it is plenty sufficient for small cuts and scrapes. You can even give it to Momma when you see her kiddo fall and scrape his knee.See this thread http://edcforums.com/showthread.php/72322-1st-aid-kit-out-of-Maxped-glove-holder

This first link (the one that was missing) had a glitch….so I fixed the glitch and reposted itI carry an Adventure Medical Kit with me daily. I’ve replaced some of the parts but it’s been very handy.
I built myself a small EDC FAK to cover similar situations – a very basic kit to cover minor scratches and bumps.
Mine is built out of a small c(and bright red) camera case – something small enough to fit any bag or pop on a belt if needed, and as it was put together by me, no more or less than I feel I need and am comfortable using. For the contents I mostly picked them up at a local chemists – buying a smallish box, packing some in the FAK then storing the rest at home so I can replenish used items.
As for the contents:
Plasters in a range of sizes
Antiseptic wipes
Small roll bandage
Small roll of medical tape
Paracetamol (cut down from a larger packet, relabelled in case anyone else uses my kit and for my reference)
Alongside that, a small SAK (small blade, small sharp scissors, etc…), decent pair of tweezers, small keychain light.
All fitted into the small camera case.As several others have mentioned, Adventure Medical kits make a good starter base, then augment with stuff you think is critical for your use/applications.
Just thought I’d mention that several Adventure Medical Kits are available @ REI if you wanted one immediately. I’ve found their ‘Medic’ series to be invaluable little kits for on the go. Their travel medic and suture/syringe medic kits go with me most places, backed up by either Celox or QuikClot + some addt’l large bandages.
