Kit, Medical Accessories, Apollo 9

This medical accessory kit was stowed in the Apollo 9 Command Module in a compartment on the right side wall beside the lunar module pilot couch. The kit has three component layers filled with medical supplies and small medical equipment. It contains motion sickness and pain suppression injectors, a two ounce bottle first aid ointment, one-ounce bottles of eye drops, nasal sprays, compress bandages, adhesive bandages, an oral thermometer, and spare crew biomedical harnesses. Pills in the medical kit include antibiotics, stimulants, pain killers, and decongestants as well as pills to treat diarrhea and sleeping difficulties.

NASA transferred this kit to the Smithsonian in 1974.
