Handy Pocket First Aid Kit
This Handy Pocket first aid kit comes equipped with all your basic first aid supplies.
A pocket first aid kit in a 600D/PVC soft pouch, sized for a handbag, glovebox or daypack. Basic supplies for the small injuries that actually happen away from home.
What a pocket first aid kit is for
Blisters on a walk, a graze in a playground, a splinter, a small cut at a market stall. None of these need a workplace kit, and none of them get treated if the supplies are in a cupboard at home. The kit that gets used is the one you already have on you.
The soft pouch matters more than it sounds. A rigid case is the reason a kit ends up in the boot instead of the bag it was bought for.
What it does not replace
This is a personal carry kit, not a workplace or vehicle kit. It will not cover a serious bleed, a burn of any size, or a workplace contents requirement. If you drive, keep a proper vehicle kit as well; if you are buying for a business, buy to the contents list that applies to you.
See the full first aid kit range, or browse first aid supplies to restock it.
Keeping a pocket kit usable
Small kits get raided. Someone takes the last two plasters and nobody replaces them, and the kit is empty the day it matters. Check it twice a year and after any use, and replace anything past its expiry. Adhesive dressings suffer badly from heat, so a kit that lives in a car needs checking more often than one in a handbag.

Pocket first aid kit FAQs
What is a pocket first aid kit for?
Minor injuries away from home: grazes, small cuts, blisters and splinters. It is a personal carry kit, sized so it actually travels with you rather than staying in a cupboard.
Is it enough for my car?
It is better than nothing, but a vehicle kit is built for roadside incidents and carries more. If the car is your main kit, buy a vehicle kit and keep this as the one in your bag.
Will it meet workplace requirements?
No. Workplace kits are specified by contents list and risk level, which differ by jurisdiction. Buy to the list that applies to your workplace rather than assuming a personal kit counts.
How often should I check it?
Twice a year and after every use. Small kits get raided for plasters and quietly emptied, which you only discover at the worst moment.
Does heat affect it?
Yes, if it lives in a car. Adhesive dressings go tacky or lose their stick in a hot vehicle, so check a car-stored kit more often and replace anything that feels soft or looks discoloured.
Can I add my own items?
Yes, and you should. Personal medication, blister plasters, an asthma reliever if prescribed. A standard kit cannot anticipate what you personally need.
A first aid kit supports trained first aid and does not replace medical care. In an emergency call your local emergency number. This information is a general guide and is not medical advice.
