What items should be in a first aid kit?

Sterile dressings

Wound dressings

Dressing pads attached to a roller bandage are the most useful bandage. They are easy to apply and so are ideal for an emergency.

Types of wound dressings include:

  • sterile wound dressing
  • sterile eye pad
  • sterile pad
  • fabric plasters
  • waterproof plasters.

Adhesive dressings or plasters

These are made from fabric or waterproof plastic and can be applied to small cuts and grazes. If you work with food, you’ll be required to use blue plasters. Gel plasters can be used to protect blisters.

Types of adhesive dressings or plasters include:

  • clear plasters
  • blue catering plasters
  • gel blister plasters.

Protective items

Disposable gloves

If available, gloves should be worn whenever you dress wounds, handle bodily fluids or other waste materials. Latex-free gloves should be worn where possible as some people are allergic to latex.

Protection from infection

A plastic face shield or pocket mask can help protect you from cross infection with the casualty when giving rescue breaths.

The face shields mean you can give mouth to mouth resuscitation without spreading infections.

What else should be in a first aid kit?

Bandages

Roller bandages

These are used to support injured joints, limit swelling, maintain pressure on wounds, and secure dressings in place.

Types of roller bandages include:

  • conforming roller bandage
  • open-weave roller bandage
  • support roller bandage
  • self-adhesive bandage.

Triangular bandages

These are made of cloth and can be folded to make bandages or slings. If they are individually wrapped and sterile they can also be used as dressings for large wounds and burns.

Tubular bandages

Gauze tubular bandage is used to secure dressings on toes and fingers and is applied to the injury with a special applicator. Elasticated tubular bandages can be used to support injured joints such as the elbow or knee.

Additional items

  • Cleansing wipes: to clean the skin around the wound
  • Gauze pads: to use as padding, or as swabs to clean around the wounds
  • Adhesive tape: to hold dressings in place or to hold the loose end of bandages
  • Scissors: used to cut bandages or sticky tape or someone’s clothing if you need to get to a wound.
  • Pins and clips: to fasten loose ends of bandages
  • Aluminium blanket: used to help retain body heat in survival, emergency, and first aid situations.
These items can be found in our first aid kits. Our kits aim to suit everyone’s needs, therefore we have a specialised first aid kit for almost every circumstance. It is important to know what environment your first aid kit will be placed in before purchasing, this will allow you to buy the best kit for your needs.
