First Aid Kits What defines a first aid kit? By definition,
first aid is the emergency care provided to an injured person
prior to the arrival of professional medical services. All true
first aid kits should be able to treat both common and emergency
injuries, thereby containing the essential first aid supplies
that go well beyond simple bandages and ointment. However,
traditional first aid kits have a number of supplies, mostly
related to cuts and scrapes and rarely have any instructional
guidance.
