By Mayo Clinic staff,

A well stocked first aid kit can help you respond effectively to common injuries and emergencies. Keep at
least on first-aid kit in your home and one in your car. Store your kit in easy-to-retrieve locations that are
out of the reach of young children. Children old enough to understand the purpose of the kits should know
where they are stored.

You can purchase first-aide kits at many drugstores to assemble your own. Contents of a first aid kit
should include:

 Adhesive tape
 Antibiotic ointment
 Antiseptic solution
 Bandages, including a roll of elastic wrap (Ace, Coban, others) and bandage strips (Band-Aide,
Curad, others) in assorted sizes.

First –aide kits: Stock supplies that can save lives

 Cotton balls and cotton-tipped swabs

 Disposable latex or synthetic gloves, at least two pairs
 Gauze pads and roller gauze in assorted sizes
 First-aide manual
 Plastic bags for the disposal of contaminated materials
 Safety pins in assorted sizes
 Scissors, tweezers and a needle
  Soap or instant hand sanitizer
 Thermometer
 Triangular bandage
 Anti-diarrhea medication
 Over-the-counter oral antihistamine (Benadryl, others)
 Over-the counter hydrocortisone cream
 Personal medications that don’t need refrigeration
 If prescribed by your doctor, drugs to treat an allergic attack, such as an auto-injector of
epinephrine (EpiPen)
 Spoon

Emergency items:

 Cell phone and re-charger that uses the accessory plug in your car dash
 Emergency phone numbers, including contact information for your family doctor and
pediatrician local
emergency services, emergency road services providers and the regional poison control
center.
 Medical history forms for each family member
 Small, waterproof flashlight and extra batteries
 Candle and matches for cold climates
 Sunscreen
 Mylar emergency blanket
 First-aid instruction manual

Give your kit a checkup

Check your first-aid kits regularly at least every three months, to be sure the flashlight batteries work and to
replace supplies that have expired.

In addition, take a first aide course to prepare for a possible medical emergency. Be sure the course covers
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use an automatic external defibrillator (AED). Renew
your CPR certification at least every two years. Prepare children for medical emergencies in age-
appropriate ways. The American Red Cross offers a numbers of helpful resources, including classes
designed to help children understand and use first-aide techniques.
