There is a product I include in my first aid that I've found useful for cycling (road rash) but may also be useful in kayaking (scrapes and abrasions from mishaps during landings or when falling on rocks). It's a 3M product called "Tegaderm" and is a sterile film like thick Saran wrap and it comes in a flat square you can cut to fit. It clings to oozing wounds and keeps them moist. Another mfr. makes a similar product but I don't remember the name. Other than the standard items I also like to carry aloe vera gel for those days that I miss a corner of skin with sunscreen.
