A wall mounted first aid kit is a convenient and easily accessible option for storing first aid supplies.
First aid kit contents vary according to their particular use. For example, a first aid kit for a farm will contain a few different items to a first aid kit for a city-dwelling family.
A basic first aid kit should contain:
Triangular bandages
Crepe (‘conforming’ or elastic) bandages of varying widths
Non-adhesive (non-stick) dressings of varying sizes
Disposable gloves (medium and large), preferably made of non-latex material
Thermal blanket
Notepad and pencil
Plastic bags of varying sizes
Adhesive tape (2.5 cm wide – preferably a permeable tape such as Micropore)
Resuscitation mask or face shield.
Other equipment can include:
Medium combine dressing pads (9 x 20 cm)
Large combine dressing pads (20 x 20 cm)
Adhesive dressing strips (bandaids)
Medium gauze dressing (7.5 x 7.5 cm)
Four sterile tubes of saline solution (minimum 10 ml)
One pair of scissors
One pair of tweezers
First aid booklet.
