First Aid Kits List
August 24, 2021
Wondering what type of bandages, wraps, ointments, medications, and other essential medical supplies should be in your first aid kit?
Are you prepared for an unexpected accident and injury at home or on the road? According to the National Safety Council, in 2019 there were 39 million injuries that required medical consultation, and this does not take into consideration all of the smaller cuts and scrapes that people treat on their own.
Using our Ultimate First Aid Kits List will help you determine the best essential medical supplies to keep on hand in your home and in your vehicle. And for those looking to have more advanced supplies such as tourniquets, sutures, chest seals, and more you will find this checklist extremely helpful. What Supplies Should Be In Your First Aid Kit?
When looking to purchase or update your first aid kit there are basic essential medical supplies that you should definitely have at your disposal for minor cuts, scrapes, and injuries. More advanced supplies may require some level training and should only be used by people with the proper knowledge and experience.
BASIC SUPPLIES
The basics include items such as bandages of various sizes and uses, gauze pads and rolls, adhesive tape, scissors, medical grade gloves, thermometer, and alcohol pads. Items that help with cuts and scrapes.
MEDICATIONS
Your kit should have medications that help alleviate headaches, pain from an injury, allergic reactions, bug bite and stings, and antibiotic ointments for helping treat wounds.
SPRAINS & FRACTURES
Some of these more advanced medical supplies such as suture kits, tourniquets, chest seals, and CPR shields are great to have as part of your kit, but some of them may require extra knowledge and training on how to properly use them.
GOOD TO HAVE
Even the most comprehensive first aid kit will not have everything you could need or want. That is why we suggest that you personalize the kit and add to it. Having items like personal medications, a flashlight, paracord, survival blankets, can all come in handy.
