What else might fit into a small zip pouch? Dental pain cream?

The things I actually use are Iodine, BandAids and splinter
tweezers.

These are the *best* tweezers for splinters.

They all work well after fitting the jaws by sliding sandpaper through
them and grinding the edges even. Since that removes the plating,
stainless lasts better outdoors.

I like the pointy ends of the sliver gripper.
It eases the task of excavating around the sliver
to get a good grip. The close location of the hinge
feature to the point means that the jaws don't get all
misaligned, too. The small size is convenient.
It is simple but brilliant.

I've carried one on my key chain for years.

One could modify conventional tweezers to include these
features, for sure.
