In cycling, the most common injuries are concussions, broken bones and skin abrasion (road rash). In remote locations, the biggest life-threatening situation is Hemorrhage and Exsanguination (Bleeding Out).
My first aid kit was designed to deal with these issues primarily. I am now using a 2L, bright red dry bag to ensure materials stay dry, and kit is easy to locate.
The images below represent how things are organized in my kit..

So, did you put the syringe into your kit? :-)

You might consider adding a syringe to help clean wounds. Flushing with potable water is effective at reducing infection. Inexpensive, and it weighs very little. ERs do the same thing — except possibly with with sterile saline.
