Abstract

A sterilized supply kit that provides the medical practitioner with the accessories necessary for marking an injection or withdrawing blood from a patient, or both. The kit includes one or more sterilizing agents, needles, syringes, fluid collection tubes, and absorbent pads. The absorbent pads are designed to cover the sight of skin puncture and create a bodily fluid barrier that makes the use of gloves to protect the practitioner unnecessary. The kit may additionally contain a tourniquet, a sterile sheet and/or medication to be administered. All the components of the kit are contained within a sterile sealable packet.
