The short answer
Write the model, size, required individual quantity and requested packing unit on separate fields. The DW-FA012 splint catalogue lists 100, 120 and 100 pieces per carton for its 45, 61 and 91 cm options; ICP001 lists 99 cold packs per carton. Confirm whether individual units or whole cartons can be supplied before converting your requirement into an order.
A request for “three boxes of first aid supplies” leaves too much open. The supplier needs to know which item, which size and how many individual pieces the receiving team actually needs. This guide helps Oman buyers turn an approved equipment list into clear quotation lines for the two products in our catalogue. It does not prescribe the contents of a first aid kit or the stock level for a workplace.
Start with the item count your team actually requires
Keep the requested number of usable individual items separate from the supplier’s selling unit. “200 cold packs” is a requirement; “three cartons” is a possible packing choice whose total depends on the exact product. Do not replace one with the other until the carton contents and permitted order quantities are confirmed.
WHO’s technical-specification guidance supports considering specifications before purchase. For this enquiry, the practical application is to identify the exact catalogue model and variant, then ask how the supplier will pack and quote that requirement. This is purchasing guidance, not an Oman regulatory statement.

Give each splint size its own order line
DW-FA012 is one model with three listed size options. Its carton quantity changes with the size, so an entry such as “DW-FA012, one carton” is incomplete. Copy the width and length from the specification and record the individual quantity required beside it.
The table shows catalogue quantities, not a promise that only full cartons are sold. Ask for confirmation of the supplied variant, sales unit and any minimum quantity. Size selection for a particular application belongs with your responsible equipment team and the manufacturer instructions.
| DW-FA012 size | Catalogue pieces per carton | Individual count for 2 full cartons |
|---|---|---|
| 11 × 45 cm | 100 | 200 |
| 11 × 61 cm | 120 | 240 |
| 11 × 91 cm | 100 | 200 |
Use the actual cold-pack carton count, not a rounded number
ICP001 is listed as a 100 g instant cold pack measuring 14.5 × 11 cm, with 99 packs per carton. “100 g” identifies a weight field; it does not mean a carton contains 100 packs. Keep the size, pack weight and item count in separate fields on the request.
A carton count is not universal across brands or sizes. For example, PrimaCare’s own product table lists different carton quantities for two of its cold-pack models. That is an example of model-specific packaging only; those counts, materials and use instructions do not describe ICP001.

Worked example: an illustrative requirement for 200 cold packs
Assume your team has already chosen a requirement of 200 individual ICP001 packs. Two cartons at the catalogue count provide 2 × 99 = 198 packs, leaving a shortfall of two. If the supplier confirms whole-carton supply only, three cartons provide 297 packs, which is 97 more than the illustrative requirement.
Neither result should silently replace the requested quantity. Ask whether 200 individual packs can be quoted, or request a clearly labelled whole-carton alternative for review. Availability, partial-carton supply and minimum quantities must be confirmed. The example is arithmetic, not a recommendation to buy extra stock.
| Option to discuss | Individual total | Difference from 200 required |
|---|---|---|
| 2 full cartons × 99 | 198 | 2 fewer |
| 3 full cartons × 99 | 297 | 97 more |
| 200 individual packs, if available | 200 | No difference |
Keep mixed sizes separate when checking the total
For an illustrative enquiry with one carton of each DW-FA012 size, the catalogue counts add to 100 + 120 + 100 = 320 splints. The useful comparison still has three separate lines: 100 of the 45 cm option, 120 of the 61 cm option and 100 of the 91 cm option. “320 splints” alone loses the size breakdown.
If a supplier offers a different pack quantity or substitute size, keep the original requirement visible and mark the alternative for approval. An equal total number of pieces does not make different sizes interchangeable. Request the exact product information needed by the equipment team before accepting a substitution.
Use a quotation line that survives the handover
For each product, record the model, full size, required individual quantity, proposed selling unit, pieces per selling unit and resulting total. Include a short confirmation field for partial cartons or substitutions. This lets the person reviewing the quote compare the requirement with the actual offer without guessing what “box” means.
A suitable enquiry might say: “Please quote ICP001 for a requirement of 200 individual packs for our receiving location in Oman. Confirm the current carton count and whether individual quantities are available. If you offer full cartons only, show the carton quantity and total individual packs as a separate alternative. Please also quote DW-FA012 by each specified size and quantity.”
- State the receiving organisation and exact location, such as Muscat, Sohar, Salalah or the relevant project site.
- Ask for the available product instructions and labelled storage or expiry information where applicable; do not assume these from another brand.
- Keep stock availability, selling units, delivery costs and timing subject to the written quotation.
- Confirm the accepted individual totals and size breakdown before the order is finalised.

Buyer questions, answered
Does one carton of DW-FA012 always contain 100 splints?
No. The catalogue lists 100 pieces for the 11 × 45 cm option, 120 for 11 × 61 cm and 100 for 11 × 91 cm. Specify the size and confirm the current packing with your quote.
How many ICP001 packs are in two catalogue cartons?
At 99 packs per carton, two cartons contain 198 individual packs. If your requirement is 200, identify the two-pack shortfall and ask what supply quantities are available.
Can I order individual cold packs instead of full cartons?
Ask the team to confirm. The catalogue carton count does not establish a minimum order or guarantee that partial cartons are available.
Does this guide specify the first aid supplies an Oman workplace must hold?
No. It explains order quantities for the listed products. Your organisation’s responsible team must determine the required items, sizes and stock levels for its circumstances.
