First Aid Kits for Minor Injuries

Hi! I’m Tracey Cullers on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip, we’re going to talk about first-aid kits. There are various types that you can have. The first one I am going to show you is a portable one and you can keep it in your car. What is nice about this one is it’s enclosed with a zipper and that keeps everything nice and clean. It also has clear pockets so you can grab what you need at the time. Included in this one is a CPR mask. You can buy this first-aid kit at drug stores, discount stores, and any big box store. This is a type that is more appropriate for your house. I picked it up at a yard sale. You could also use any sort of tote or container. I recommend that you have various items in it. Starting out with medicine, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Benadryl and a nasal decongestant. First-aid cream for a wound is also necessary. This is a blunt nosed scissors that you can cut bandages with if you need to or cut close off. Tweezers come in handy for picking out splinters. Then of course, bandages. These are triangular bandages, which are good for making slings. Regular Band-Aids, tape, wrap-around bandages and then various other types of bandages. Before you would do any wound, of course, you would want to put gloves on. It’s good to include gloves into every first-aid kit. If you have all of these items, you will be well on your way to having an excellent first-aid kit and being able to handle any emergency.
