4. Wound Dressings

When building a well-stocked first aid kit, include a variety of supplies for dressing wounds. Add sterile gauze pads and bandages of different sizes so you are prepared to take care of any size wound or cut.

It's also a good idea to keep bandage scissors, tape, elastic wrap bandages, rolls of gauze, and various plastic bags in assorted sizes to dispose of used dressings and bandages properly.
