What items to include while Buying travel first aid kit?

A first aid kit is an essential piece of equipment that you should have at your house, in your vehicle, and with you, when you travel. Most people don’t take feel like buying travel first aid kit but are equally important as your other necessities. You don’t need to carry a professional first aid kit, just a basic one will do. 

Items that are essential while buying travel first aid kit are:-

• Plasters(Bandages):-

The first and foremost thing to buy for the first aid kit is plasters (bandages). The most common minor injury can be a cut or a graze, which most of the people leave unattended. You must always treat a cut or graze with a bandage or plaster. It's always a good idea to keep a handful of plasters in a variety of sizes.

• Gauze:-

You can never see a first aid kit without a gauze in it. It comes handy to apply pressure on the wound, clean the wound, soak up blood, help stop bleeding and sometimes to form a part of a basic dressing for small-to-medium wounds. The best type of gauze to keep in your kit is individually wrapped sterile squares.

• Surgical tapes:-

Surgical tape is a kind of an emergency essential item that is required when you need to apply or cease gauze or a bandage to a wound.

• Crepe bandages(elastic bandages):-

Just one or two at most of these bandages are enough. Crepe bandage is used when you get an injury bit bigger than a cut, to keep small dressings clean and in place before you get any professional medical care.

• Tweezers:-

Tweezers come as a standard item in most of the first aid kits and are used for pulling out splinters, getting out dirt or little bits of stones when cleaning out the wound.

• Small scissors:-

A pair of small scissors also come as a standard item in a commercial first aid kit and are used for trimming gauze or bandages to size. 

• Antiseptic wipes:-

This is the thing most people overlook while buying travel first aid kit, but they are absolutely essential. No one wants a cut or wound to get infected.

• Pain relief medication:-

Basic paracetamol or whatever you normally take for pain relief when you have a headache or minor pain.
