First aid kits come in many shapes and sizes and often include a variety of items. You can purchase complete kits at stores—or even at our corporate office—or assemble one yourself. The key is ensuring it contains essential items.
Antiseptic wipes help clean wounds and reduce the risk of infection. They come in individual packets for single-use, which prevents cross-contamination when treating injuries.
Adhesive bandages protect wounds from dirt, germs, and water. They are a must-have for covering minor cuts and scrapes.
Gloves create a barrier between you and a victim’s blood, reducing the risk of infection. Always wear gloves when treating someone who is bleeding.
Gauze pads are sterile and absorbent, ideal for cleaning wounds or stopping excessive bleeding. They are larger than bandages and perfect for covering bigger injuries.
A breathing barrier is crucial if CPR is needed. It protects the rescuer from direct contact with the victim’s mouth while performing life-saving breaths.
Having a first aid kit is only part of being prepared. Proper First Aid and CPR/AED training ensures you can respond confidently and effectively in an emergency.
