All-Purpose Emergency First Aid Kit

There was enough in here for me to build out 2-3 smaller kits. PLENTY of bandages. Everything seems good quality. Everything advertised was included. All the basics. Everything is well organized, easy to reach, and compact.

I bought this first aid kit for my parents a while back and told them to remember where they put it. Well my mom had a big accident where we needed to hold pressure to stop the bleeding. Thank goodness my dad remembered where this was and with the gauze and some pressure we saved her. Great quality, size, and all around great kit. After the accident I bought 3 more for my siblings.

This is the ultimate high quality first aid kit that is useful for multiple instances. Tons of different uses inside that is fantastic for your vehicle, hiking, or camping!

Ok so I needed a cheap kit to build on for long term travel (primarily on foot but also possibly bicycle and train, sometimes in the city, sometimes in wilderness) and this one had the lowest price/highest rating/greatest number of items. The case itself is a soft but sturdy zip up, somewhat translucent so you can see whatever is in the back pockets. I expect it is water resistant, if left in moderate rain the contents probably wouldn't get soaked, but if it fell out of your boat water would be able to get in around the fabic of the zipper. It is bigger than a dvd case but smaller than a composition book, but thicker than both put together. It claims 299 pieces so here are the contents, or at least what I got in mine: - 50 tiny bandaids, like doll sized. Maybe 1/4 an inch wide and less than 1 1/2 inches long. Good for toddler sized wounds, minor pinpricks, paper cuts you can't actually see but can feel, and pinky fingers. However they could possibly act as butterfly stitches (which are included in the kit but you only get a few) if needed, with the gauze patch of the bandage going directly over the cut and the adhesive parts holding the skin together. - 4 fingertip bandaids - 1 single use pack of burn gel - 3 2-packs (6 tablets in all) of 200mg ibuprofen - 3 2-packs of non-aspirin 500mg - 3 2-packs of aspirin 325mg - 1 square bandaid. Yeah, just one. *shrug* - 3 small gauze pads - 2 large gauze pads - 1 large rectangle bandaid. Again, just one. - 1 sterile eye pad - 3 butterfly stitches - 4 knuckle bandaids - 1 trauma pad - 1 xl gauze pad - 135 regular sized bandaids. There were technically 2 sizes, but they did not differ by more than 1/4 of an inch, and they would both be adequate for a minor scrape or cut. Some were labeled fabric, others I'm assuming are either latex or plastic, but the packaging did not specifically say. 135 seems like overkill, especially when they skimped on other sizes and shapes, but if this was to be a home or office kit ordinary bandaids are probably what people would need the most. - 2 sting relief pads - 14 alcohol cleansing pads - 6 single use packs of neomycin cream - 2 single use packs of first aid cream - 1 mylar blanket - 1 pair of nitrile gloves, size large - 1 gauze roll - 3 pre-cut moleskin pads, each about 1 square inch - a small pair of trauma shears, obviously cheap but sturdy enough for an emergency. - several (I'm sorry I didn't count but I'm pretty sure it was less than ten) cotton tipped swabs, presumably for application of ointment. I really don't know why else you would need them. - plastic tweezers which would work in a pinch, but are probably worth about 3 pennies in all. - 1 single use thermometer - 15 bzk towelettes. I don't really know why they went with these instead of more alcohol pads, as benzalkonium chloride can be irritating if it gets inside the body, but as long as you don't jam these up your nose you should be fine. - 2 popsicle sticks. Whoever put the kit together probably referred to them as tongue depressors or budget toe splints (which I guess they could be if you cut them up), but yeah, they're extra large popsicle sticks. - 2 small, as in 1/4 inch wide, rolls of medical tape - 1 instant cold pack - 1 emergency guide made of magazine type paper Overall the contents seem to be well-made, and most minor incidents that you would encounter at home are covered to a degree. This kit will definitely need some supplements, but it is a nice start. There was one whole pocket free on the left size of my kit and more space could be created for additional supplies with some tweaking of the current contents. Some suggestions for a better kit: Toss out the "emergency guide" (if you're buying this kit, you hopefully know basic first aid), it takes up space and won't last long outside of the case. Remove at least half the bandaids (stick them in your glove compartment, your desk at work, your purse, your wallet or your pocket) and add more medications (there was nothing included for gastrointestinal issues, allergies, or cold relief and everybody can always use more pain relievers), more gloves, another roll of tape, another roll of gauze, a few more large (like kneecap road rash size) bandaids and some of the other various shapes depending on personal preference, a tube of general first aid cream, and more burn and sting care items if you mean to travel with it. Dump the tongue depressors unless you're really attached to them, and the same goes for the q-tips. If you wanted a more serious kit, you would probably want a cheap triangle bandage, a SAM splint (which will not fit in the kit but would be good to have), an ace bandage, and some Quickclot. And...yeah ok that's about it. *shrug*

Has come in handy multiple times. The variety in this little pack is quite impressive as well. Lots of tiny bandaids, slightly bigger, medium, slightly bigger, large, etc. There's also other miscellaneous things in here like burn stuff that makes it feel nice to know it's there if needed.

Great kit

This kit has numerous bandaids of all sizes and purposes, basic wound cleaning and care, OTC pain relievers, ointments - almost anything you need in a jiffy and for simple/generic medical needs. The cost is ~$20 and there are easily more than $20 in bandaids and cleaning wipes alone. The kit is not well organized; I removed everything and reorganized (bandaids in one side, wipes in one section, OTC pain relievers in one section etc.) There was not a handy list of items included in the kit, so if you needed something in a hurry you'd be left guessing what was in the kit. But, in the AMZ ad there is a full list and I printed it out and placed it in the kit. This will also help know what needs to be replaced.

Wonderful
