Full First Aid Kit

I've not had these long. I got them from amazon. I looked to try and make my own kit, but after searching around figured I'd go for a pre built one. These have got everything I think I might need, and a few now removed bit's that I'd never use. The bag opens out and one of the sides has a fold over section for flat things.

The mesh fronted side has varous bandages, plasters & a cooling pack. The fold over bit has gloves, cotton swabs, some scissors and a poncho. On the other side is a list of contents and some first aid tips. The zipped side has a clear plastic front and inside are some wipes, gauze pads, bandages, eye washes and a few other bits.

In each kit there are

Plasters (Small, Medium & large) and butterfly closure strips
Gauze Pads
Non Stick Pads
Gaping Wound Pad
Eye pads
Cleaning Wipes
Stretchy and non stretchy bandages
Cotton Swabs
Cold Compress
Gloves
Scissors, Tweezers & Safety Pins
Rain Poncho & Foil Blanket
Paracetamol (added by me)
Ibuprofen (added by me)
Small Torch (added by me)

We've got one in each car, Fin has one in his camping kit and one in the day bag we take when we go out as team tiggy. If I'm likely to be anywhere where this kind of first aid kit isn't what I need I'd hope that I was there as part of some planned event, and I'd have got a bigger kit together beforehand!

If there's an injury that couldn't be controlled with the contents of this kit, I wouldn't know what to do anyway! I've done a few first aid courses, but I'm not a paramedic! This kit is spot on for my normal situations, make your own choices when it comes to the kind of first aid kit you need.
