Quick Overview

The Elite First Aid Military General Purpose First Aid Kit is a waterproof hard plastic case of everyday first aid supplies for places a soft kit would get wet: a boat, a truck toolbox, a hunting pack or the car.

The kit is modeled on the military general purpose first aid kit, NSN 6545-00-922-1200, in a compact format, and the case is made in the USA. Inside are gauze rolls and pads, plastic and elastic bandages, an eye pad, tape, safety pins, a cold pack, BZK, alcohol and iodine wipes, a soap bar, first aid burn cream, triple antibiotic, ibuprofen, scissors, tweezers, nitrile gloves and first aid instructions.

Key contents: a conforming gauze roll (4" x 4.1 yd), a gauze roll (2" x 4 yd), 4" x 4" gauze pads, 16 plastic bandages (1" x 3"), 2 elastic bandages (2" x 5 yd), 6 safety pins, 8 BZK wipes, 4 alcohol wipes and 2 iodine wipes. The case measures 8.5" L x 6" W x 3.25" H and weighs approx. 1.25 lb. SKU FA101C.

Keep the case in one known spot, open it on a set schedule and after each use, and check any dates printed on the components. Replace every item you use, then close the case fully before it goes back in its place.

Field Application Steps

1. STAGE THE CASE: Pick one spot where a fabric kit could get wet, such as a boat, a truck toolbox, a hunting pack or under a car seat. Tell everyone who uses that space where the case sits.

2. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the case and check every item against the contents list, from the gauze rolls to the first aid instructions. Close the case fully when the count is complete.

3. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS: Read the first aid instructions in the case before you need them. Note where the gloves, gauze, bandages and small tools sit so you can find each one by name.

4. CHECK THE SCENE AND CALL: Make sure the area is safe before you stop to help, whether on the water, the road or a job site. Call 911 for any serious injury or illness.

5. OPEN, THEN GLOVE UP: Open the case and put on the pair of nitrile gloves from inside before you reach for any other item.

6. USE ITEMS BY NAME: Find each item by its name, such as a plastic bandage, a gauze pad, an elastic bandage or the cold pack. Use each one as its own packaging and the first aid instructions direct.

7. REPORT AND HAND OFF: If EMS arrives, tell the crew what happened and which items you used. Keep the used wrappers aside so you know exactly what to replace.

8. RESTOCK AND CLOSE: Replace each item used, including the nitrile gloves, and check any dates printed on the components. Close the case fully and return it to its spot.
