In any emergency a family member or you yourself may be cut, burned or suffer other injuries. If you have these basic supplies you are better prepared to help your loved ones when they are hurt.
Remember, many injuries are not life threatening and do not require immediate medical attention. Knowing how to treat minor injuries can make a difference in an emergency.
Consider taking a first aid class, but simply having the following basic medical supplies can help you stop bleeding, prevent infection and assist in decontamination.
Here are some first aid kit essentials:
* Two pairs of latex exam gloves, or other sterile gloves (if you are allergic to Latex).
* Sterile dressings to stop bleeding.
* Cleansing agent/soap and antibiotic towelettes to disinfect.
* Antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.
* Burn ointment to prevent infection.
* Adhesive bandages in a variety of sizes.
* Nonstick sterile pads: these are soft, superabsorbent pads that provide a good environment for wound healing.
