MEDICAL FIRST AID KIT SUPPLY
Medical first aid kit supply is a collection of medical supplies like bandages
and medicines intended for emergency treatment.
This medical first aid kit supply usually comes with medicines for cough, fever
and etc.
These kits are very useful and dependable during emergencies.
A well-stocked medical first aid kit supply, kept within easy reach, is a necessity
in every home.
Having supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle an emergency at a
moment's notice.
You should keep one medical first aid kit supply in your home and one in each
car.
Bring a medical first aid kit supply on family vacations is also highly suggested.
With this, it is also vital to choose containers for your kits that are
roomy, durable, easy to carry, and simple to open.
Plastic tackle boxes or containers for storing art supplies are ideal,
since they're lightweight, have handles, and offer a lot of space.
Then, include the following in each of your medical first aid kit
supply : first-aid manual, sterile gauze, adhesive tape, adhesive
bandages in several sizes, elastic bandage, antiseptic wipes, soap,
antibiotic cream (triple-antibiotic ointment), antiseptic solution
(like hydrogen peroxide), hydrocortisone cream (1%), acetaminophen
(such as Tylenol) and ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin), extra
prescription medications (if the family is going on vacation),
tweezers, sharp scissors, safety pins, disposable instant cold packs,
calamine lotion, alcohol wipes or ethyl alcohol, thermometer, plastic
gloves (at least 2 pairs), flashlight and extra batteries, mouthpiece
for administering CPR (can be obtained from your local Red Cross), your
list of emergency phone numbers, blanket (stored nearby).
Most of all, one must read the entire first-aid manual in
order to fully understand how to use the contents of your kits. If your
children are old enough to understand, review the manuals with them as
well. Keep first-aid kits in places that are easily accessible for
adults.
Put them in places that are out of children's reach.
It is also very ideal to check the kits regularly, and replace missing
items or medicines that may have expired.
