product description
First Aid Kit No. 2 is a well-equipped, portable medical emergency kit designed to provide intermediate-level first aid in response to injuries, accidents, or medical emergencies that require more than the basic supplies of a standard First Aid Kit No. 1.

It is First Aid Kit No. 2 intended for immediate first response and to stabilize injured persons until professional medical assistance is available. This kit is particularly important in environments where wounds, sprains, burns, or moderate trauma are likely to occur.
