First aid kits are designed for a wide number of applications. First aid kits may be designed for a particular purpose, such as for treating snake bites or sea sickness, or for general usage in a home, vehicle, or place of business. The latter are known as all-purpose first aid kits. An all-purpose first aid kit is typically used for treating general injuries, such as cuts, minor burns, infections, and minor bone injuries. All-purpose first aid kits are usually placed in convenient locations where they can be easily accessed.
Anyone can assemble their own all-purpose first aid kit. Alternatively, all-purpose first aid kits can be purchased ready-made from a number of manufacturers. Most of these kits include a first aid guide.
A medium-sized all-purpose first aid kit will include between 100 and 200 items. Generally, these kits will include items that are divided into six categories: medicine, bandages, dressings, topical ointments and antiseptics, equipment for treating injuries, and miscellaneous items.
Most all-purpose first aid kits will include basic medicines, such as extra-strength non-aspirin tablets, regular aspirin tablets, or ibuprofen tablets.
Bandages for different applications are included in an all-purpose first aid kit. An all-purpose first aid kit will usually include fingertip bandages, knuckle bandages made of fabric, elbow/knee plastic bandages, patch plastic bandages, spot bandages, junior adhesive plastic bandages, and large adhesive plastic bandages, which are 3.75” x 3” in size.
Dressings for different applications are usually included in an all-purpose first aid kit. Some examples are both 2” x 2” and 3” x 3” gauze dressing pads, 5” x 9” trauma pads, sterile eye pads, and conforming gauze bandage in a 2” wide roll.
All-purpose first aid kits will include a number of pieces of equipment used for treating injuries, such as butterfly wound closures, finger splints, first aid tape roll, and high-grade moleskin.
Topical ointments and antiseptics include antibiotic ointments wrapped individually in small plastic packages, alcohol cleansing tissues, antiseptic cleansing tissues, relief pads for treating insect stings, and soap towelettes.
Miscellaneous items include cotton-tipped applicators, a pair of vinyl gloves, medium-sized safety pins, scissors, tweezers, and one or two thermometers that are intended for one-time use.
