From plasters to antiseptic spray, here's what every household first aid kit should include and why.
Why every home needs a first aid kit
Accidents happen when you least expect them — a kitchen cut, a child's scraped knee, or a workplace bump. Having a well-stocked first aid kit at home means you can respond quickly and confidently.
What to include
- Assorted plasters in a range of sizes for cuts and blisters
- Antiseptic wound wash to clean grazes before dressing
- Sterile gauze pads for larger wounds
- Elastic crepe bandage to support sprains and strains
- An instant cold compress for bumps and swelling
Keep it fresh
Check your kit every few months — replace anything that's out of date or running low, and keep it somewhere easy to reach in an emergency.
