First Aid & Hygiene
Pocket First Aid Kit, 13 Pieces
A tiny grab-and-go kit of dressings, scissors and tweezers for glovebox or bag
£19.99 + £5.65 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 10-20 working days. Tracked.
A very small pouch kit holding the basics for minor cuts and scrapes: adhesive plasters, gauze, a conforming bandage, a triangular bandage, safety pins, prep pads, scissors and tweezers. It is cheap enough to put one in every bag, car and drawer.
It is a starter kit, not a full first aid cabinet. The supplier lists a silicone tourniquet in the set; only use one if you have been trained. Check the contents on arrival and top up as needed.
Key features
- 13 items in a compact zip pouch
- Plasters, gauze and a conforming bandage
- Triangular bandage for slings
- Small scissors and tweezers
- Fits a glovebox, handbag or go-bag
- Cheap enough to place several around the home
How to use it
Keep the small pouch to hand and use its plasters, gauze and bandages to cover minor cuts and scrapes until you can get proper care.
- Open the pouch on arrival and check the contents: plasters, gauze, conforming and triangular bandages, safety pins, prep pads, scissors and tweezers.
- Wash and dry your hands before touching a minor wound, and follow any instructions printed on the pack or the prep pads.
- Cover a small cut or scrape with a plaster, or a gauze pad held in place with the conforming bandage.
- For an arm that needs support, fold the triangular bandage into a sling and fasten it with a safety pin.
- Use the tweezers and scissors only for their obvious jobs, such as trimming a dressing to size.
- Repack the pouch tidily and replace anything you used so it is ready next time.
Tips
- Its small size suits a glovebox, handbag or drawer, so consider one in each place.
- Tell the family where it lives and check the contents every few months.
Safety and limits
- This is a starter kit for minor injuries and does not replace first aid training or medical care. Call 999 for anything serious, or 111 for non-urgent advice.
- The supplier lists a silicone tourniquet in the set. Only use one if you have been trained to.
- Scissors and tweezers have sharp points. Keep the kit out of reach of young children.
Please note
- Check contents on arrival and remove anything you are not trained to use (e.g. the tourniquet).
- Not a substitute for first aid training or emergency services: call 999 for serious injuries.
