Default Who carries a trauma/medical kit on their bike?

I carry an individual first aid kit in my vehicles, and now I want to put something together for the bike. For those of you have one, what's in it? I'm thinking the basics are: tourniquet, Israeli bandage, gauze, scissors, Quikclot gauze, gloves, and perhaps a towel. Thoughts?

Thought about it, being a former Paramedic Firefighter I carried a kit.
In 40 years never needed it.
And in this litigious society I'd be carful of who you tended to, they can sue you these days!

quick clot, tampons, handful of no-sticks. Most other needed stuff is on our persons, belts, boot laces, knives etc. Always electrical tape in the bikes.

Chest seal, tourniquet, clotting dust and a space blanket.

The rest can be improvised.

Ooo, the electrical tape is a good idea. As well as the space blanket.
