1.       Band Aid: For small cuts, bruises and blisters band aids are perfect for the job. It is even better to have one that has antibacterial medication and is waterproof.

2.       Antibiotic Ointment:  Using ointments on wounds and injuries prevents the growth of bacteria which causes slow healing.

3.       Antiseptic Wash or Wipes: An ideal way to clean any injury is soap and clear water. Since we cannot have soap or either water so, an alternative to this is antiseptic wash or wipes.

4.       Disposable gloves: For administering first aid it is necessary to take precautions and have a glove worn to keep the wound free of any possible bacteria. It is also useful for cleaning blood and bodily fluids.

5.       Elastic Bandage:  It is most important to reduce any swelling caused by an injury and for this nothing is better than using an elastic bandage. For simple closure, look for elastic bandages with metal clasps or Velcro.

6.       Instant Cold Packs: After a sprain or accident, the cold can reduce the flow of blood, reducing swelling and bruising. The cold can also relieve irritation from stings and bites.

7.       Scissors: A pair of tiny curved medical scissors is worth the price since their blunt points are safer than craft scissors and easier to operate.

8.       Sterile Gauze Pads and Medical Tape: Sterilized medial gauze prevents bacteria to enter any open wound and use the tape to secure the gauze in place.

9.       Sting and Bite Treatments: It's a good idea to keep bite and sting medicines on hand. Pack calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream, ointment, or lotion to relieve irritation caused by insect bites as well as poison ivy or poison oak.

10.   Tweezers: Useful for removing splinters, thorns, bug stingers, and ticks. Needle-nose tweezers made of surgical steel are an excellent choice for first-aid kits due to their extremely tiny tip. They're strong, easy to use, and provide accuracy.
