Guest Guest Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Not sure what's in a "suture kit", but you should have: tweezers clean scissors (no kids, you CAN'T use those! ) needle and clean thread sterile eye wash Link to comment

redhenfarm Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I had to order suture kits for the clinic once and the way we found sources was checking with the local hospital purchaser. Also perhaps your doctors office could give you this information (whoever buys for them). Link to comment

ricardo Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I guess I need more of that then! I used all mine up making that elderberry tinature. You should have seen the look on the liqure store clerks face when he saw what I was buying. I looked at him and said "Don't ask!" He didn't. He's going to look at me REALLY funny when I go back for more! I was buying the biggest bottles they sold and I had 3 of them. edited to add: They were 1/2 gallon bottles. Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Vodka.... Sams Club or Costco (if you don't have a card then get a friend to pick it up for you) sells 1/2 gallon bottles cheaply.. right around $10.00 a half gallon, different prices in different areas, but only a few cents. If people want to know.. they are Christmas presents, they are for the punch bowl for the Christmas party! or here... http://allrecipes.com/advice/coll/christma...ticles/95P1.asp Link to comment
Judy Moist Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 One piece of advice,,, never pass by a clearance or reduced price merchandise carts at the stores.... I found sterile bandages 10 to a pack for $1.50.. usually quiet a bit more than that. So I have 10 boxes of sterile bandages Bandaid antiseptic wash 3 boxes of assorted sizes bandaids neosporin large medical type cotton swabs alcohol pads different tapes, paper and material type scissors. and that is just the beginning...

That mean a 40 min trip to the bording county at Last Chance Liquor. 1/2 gallon is $13.50. They have a drive thru. A plus. Link to comment
