It is obvious why one needs a small travel first aid kit – for emergency injuries and whatnots. It is advisable for anyone to have a small first aid kit that you would want to bring when you travel, or keep one in your car:

Things you will need:

• a first aid kit that can carry the supplies below
• thermometer
• disposable gloves (2 pairs)
• cotton-tipped applicators kept sterile in an airtight container
• small tube of antibiotic ointment
• small bottle of anticeptic spray
• small bottle of eye wash solution
• small bottle of hand sanitizer
• small bottle of petroleum jelly
• alcohol swabs (which you can buy individually wrapped)
• sterile gauze dressings (2×2 ” and 4×4″ sizes, be sure that they are kept sterile)
• paper or adhesive tape (preferably 1″ and 1/2″)
• bandaids
• 2â€� or 3â€� bandage
• roller gauze
• safety pins
• small pair of scissors
• medication such as aspirin, anatacids
• clean plastic bags

Arrange items in the first aid kit so that they are easily found. Keep sterile items sterile.

Don’t forget to keep a first aid manual as well. Include a card with numbers of the emergency hotline, police, fire department, or individuals you might need to contact. Always check expiration dates of medicines and supplies (if applicable) and replenish when needed.
