Hmmm---you have time to order a pre-built one from amazon, but not time to order the components for your own?

I got one of these for my wife's vehicle:

https://www.amazon.com/Be-Smart-Get-Prepared-Standards/dp/B00CYBXLA4/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=first+aid+kit&qid=1589252605&sr=8-10

...then upgraded it by addressing a few deficiencies. Better tape, more gauze pads, Triple Antibiotic, a small CPR mask, and more bandaids.

I then also added a separate trauma kit for the vehicle, with:

  • Nitrile Gloves
  • Shears
  • Sharpie
  • Compressed Gauze
  • Israeli Compression Bandage
  • CAT tourniquet
  • HyFin chest seal

I don't think you'll find any specific kit that 'perfectly' fits your needs and skill set. Get something with a decent selection of stuff to start with, and then add what you need from there. The specific contents for your bag should be guided by your skill level and training. There's little benefit including an NPA/OPA if you haven't been trained to use it.

Along with the medical/first aid gear, I'd encourage you to plan your overall emergency gear carefully. Here's my VEDC list, for what it's worth as a starting point:
