    First aid ampules of pain killers, IV bags, disposable syringes. Stuff expected to be used once and outside of a medical facility or during large scale casualty events.

    But all of that might be doable with the corn based plastic and then disposed of through incineration.

        In hospital settings they're great so long as the hospital has the support systems in place to clean/sanitize/store/dispose of them.

        But after being roughed up by police, those things tend to break if their glass. Dollars to donuts that any street medics that have an aid bag with the standard red cross emblem might find that it gets hit by billy clubs or boots.
