General First Aid

Unfortunately, accidents and injuries can happen anywhere. Prepare yourself and your loved ones for any adverse situation.

Our general use medical emergency kits are designed for the rescue professional and for the average citizen. You never know when (and where) you will find yourself at the scene of an accident. To treat minor nicks, scrapes, and rashes, as well as more serious injuries, these general-use kits contain the necessities for Poison Ivy Treatment, Treating Minor Wounds, Burn Treatments, Upset Stomach, Severe Bleeding, Sterilize Wounds, Sting Relief, Hypothermia, Blisters and Hot-Spots, and more.

The American Red Cross recommends that you should always keep a first aid kit in your vehicle and your home. Carry a first aid kit with you whenever possible. And If not carrying a kit, know where you can find one. Make sure you know the location(s) of first aid kits where you work.

Excellent refill pack at a great price. Try to find a better quality at a lower price. Ain't gonna happen! I love all the Rescue Essentials small individualized kits. Well thought out and great quality.

This is a great, and/or ideal basic first aid kit for law enforcement professionals to keep in their patrol vehicles. I like how individual components are labeled for easy identification.
– Jeremy B.

High quality components to cover a variety of situations. Well organized, with thoughtful packaging. You can spend a lot more for a basic Wilderness First A kit, but for (the price) you'll be hard pressed to find a kit with comparable items.
- Craig V.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a general first aid kit and a trauma kit? −
General first aid kits are designed to treat common injuries like cuts, burns and sprains. Trauma kits focus on more severe medical emergencies like severe bleeding or gunshot wounds. If you’re preparing for high-risk environments, consider adding a trauma module to your tactical medical kit.
Do your workplace kits meet OSHA or ANSI standards? +
Yes. We offer both Class A and Class B ANSI/OSHA-compliant first aid kits. These meet federal workplace requirements and include key items like trauma dressings, nitrile gloves and burn care supplies.
Can I build or customize my own kit? +
Absolutely. We offer mini modules and refill components so you can build a kit that fits your needs. Whether you’re assembling a survival kit, supplementing your vehicle pack or customizing for your family, we make it easy to get what you need.
What’s the best kit for home or family use? +
Our smaller home and travel kits are great for treating minor injuries like scrapes, splinters, or burns. They're compact enough to keep in a drawer or glove box but contain enough supplies to manage most everyday incidents.
Are these kits easy to use without medical training? +
Yes. Our general first aid kits are designed for any user and include straightforward medical supplies like gauze pads, bandages, and antiseptic wipes. No clinical background required, just basic knowledge and readiness to act.
