IMO carrying first aid on the bike is sort of a Catch 22.
The kind of minor stuff you prepare to deal with is only an inconvenience if ignored until you get home. The kind of stuff that really needs immediate treatment probably needs far more than you're carrying. And the most truly serious stuff you probably wouldn't be in shape to treat.
The most I've ever done on a day trip was a quick rinse with my water bottle.
