It's only about the size of a hardcover book, but within this kit, you will find the tools needed to assess and treat everything from a scraped finger to a heavily bleeding gash, and from a mild headache to a high fever.

This First Aid Only kit comes with comprehensive wound cleaning and closure supplies, including multiple butterfly strips, gauze rolls and pads, and several types of bandages, not to mention the various alcohol, antiseptic, and antibiotic wipes and ointments. It's the perfect triage kit for all sorts of common injuries.

The kit also comes with an array of supplies invaluable to the person administering first aid, such as sterile vinyl gloves, a single-use thermometer, tweezers, and nickel-plated scissors. And for all that, this first aid kit still costs less than $20.

With nearly 2,000 ratings on Amazon, the First Aid Only All-Purpose First Aid Kit enjoys an excellent 4.7-star rating. One customer who keeps the kit at her workplace says it has made her "pretty much the go-to girl for medical needs," while another owner says it's "great for either the car or to put in a backpack on hiking trips."

First Aid Kit “Must-Haves” & Knowing When Injuries Need REAL Medical Attention

Hiking, camping, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking – the list of outdoor activities could go on. And since the days are long enough, many of us do more than one of these a day sometimes. You know what that means, right? Many more opportunities for injuries while we’re out having all that fun.To get more news about hemostatic granule, you can visit rusuntacmed.com official website.

A fall, a cut, and a scrape or two are statistically unavoidable if you’re doing lots of outdoor activities all summer. They’re pretty minor most of the time, but we’re in Alaska, so it’s always a good idea to have a first aid kit with the essential “must-haves” just in case.
Here is a list of items that make up a well-stocked, basic first aid kit. If you keep this kit handy in your home, car, boat, etc., you’ll be well-prepared for many of the most common emergencies you’d encounter until you can get to a medical facility or help can get to you.

Notice that alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are not on the list other than something with which to sterilize the tweezers. Using hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean wounds can harm the tissue and delay healing. For cuts, it’s best to rinse thoroughly with cool water and after wiping the tweezers with alcohol, use them to remove as much debris as you can.

*As a side note, in every first aid kit this writer’s spouse has ever put together, one will always find Maxi pads (highest absorbency women’s sanitary pads) for severe cuts and tampons for puncture wounds. The belief has always been that since they are made explicitly for high absorbency, they make the most sense for severe lacerations. (Gauze doesn’t even come close.) Having seen one of those items used in a real-world setting, I can personally recommend adding them to your essential first aid kit supply list.
If you aren’t sure whether or not to go to the ER, calling your primary care provider is always a good first option. They will undoubtedly be able to discuss your symptoms and advise whether or not what you’re experiencing is an emergency.

If it’s after hours and you’re a SEARHC patient, you can call the SEARHC free Nurse Advice Line toll-free at 1.800.613.0560. The medical service representatives and registered triage nurses who monitor that line can help. They can answer your questions, help contact your provider or connect you with emergency services.
For other types of injuries, such as head injuries, neck injuries, and anything to do with bones, tendons, or muscles, there are many more things to consider.

Importantly, head and neck injuries are sneaky as they can be invisible but lead to serious problems ranging from mild to severe. It may be “better to be safe than sorry” and seek emergency medical attention with either type of injury.

For musculoskeletal injuries (bone, tendon, muscle), look for problems bearing weight, constant pain, swelling and bruising, a significant bump in the area of the injury or if there is an open wound at the site of the injury, emergency care is also probably warranted.

Additionally, SEARHC has a top-notch orthopedic team, including a board-certified orthopedic surgeon available to treat musculoskeletal injuries and if needed, a vast array of rehabilitation services to help patients get everything back in working order as soon as possible.

As always, the takeaways are 1) to be prepared with whatever you might need to perform basic first aid on yourself or someone with you, and 2) have an idea of the criteria for an injury that requires medical attention at a level higher than your first aid kit.
