First Aid Only 299 Piece All-Purpose Emergency First Aid Kit for Home, Office, Car, Apartment, Dorm, and Camping, Travel-Friendly Compact Pouch Fits in Backpacks, Suitcases, Cabinets, and Drawers

Very complete first aid kit for abrasions, cuts, minor injuries, etc? It has 299 pieces in a small compact, soft side caring case! Great for trips.

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 paperOverall 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*

The First Aid Only All-purpose First Aid Kit is a bargain for the price. I keep one of these in all of my family's cars in case of emergency, and it has come in handy more than a couple of times. It has so many items included and pretty much whatever you would need for most minor first aid needs is in here, plus some. We've never seen anything with quite so many items included in a price even close to this. How many times have you been out somewhere for the day and had a headache and needed a pain killer, or gotten a paper cut and needed a bandaid (but didn't have one in the right size)? From about 100 bandages of different sizes and types, to antiseptic wipes, antibiotic pouches, anti-itch and anti-sting relief, burn relief, moleskin, gloves, and emergency blanket, a cold compress, and one time use thermometer, scissors, and tweezers – it really has a solution for about every kind of minor first aid situation that could come up in a given day or even on a camping trip.We've actually purchased these as gifts for other family members as well, and they have all loved how small and convenient these are and how many things are packed into this great case that can stow away so easily in the car.It includes a few small packs of acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen, and we noticed these had an expiration date of about a year after our purchase, and these can be easily replaced by putting a few of each of these pills in a plastic bag when the other packs need to be replaced.The plastic tweezers are the only thing I might replace in the kit with metal ones, only because if someone got a splinter out camping or hiking, I'm not sure the plastic ones would be very helpful. Otherwise, totally great kit.If you don't want to spend significantly more money but want a great all purpose first aid kit, this one is fantastic.
