According to the National Statistical Institute, in Bulgaria in 2020, 5,710 serious accidents were recorded on local roads. In these, 7,121 people were injured, and 463 died.

What types can you find in the online Bultex99 store, and why trust us when shopping?

What first aid kits should contain

The kit consists of:

• Box – the individual items should not be scattered throughout the vehicle. They must be arranged in a special box that stores and keeps them ready for use;
• Elastic bandage for stopping bleeding, 1 piece – wrapped around the affected area to stop blood flow by tightening;
• Gauze bandage, 2 pieces – wrapped around the affected area to protect it from contamination and infection;
• Medical cotton – used for disinfecting and cleaning wounds. It is also used to stop bleeding. Having a full pack is recommended;
• Sterile dressings – used to protect surface wounds from contamination and infection;
• Adhesive bandages for surface wounds (plasters) – applied to scratches and cuts to stop bleeding and protect the wound from contamination;
• Polyethylene gloves – sterile and worn when first aid is needed and for treating puncture and cut wounds;
• Water-based solution – disinfects hands and wounds;
• Blunt-tip scissors – for cutting bandages, plasters, stitches, etc., protecting the patient from injury.

It is very important to monitor the expiration dates of the individual first aid kit items and replace them as needed.

Why they are necessary

In the event of a road traffic accident, the likelihood of injured people is high. This requires providing first medical aid. In severe injuries, every minute is critical for saving a human life, and having a first aid kit is essential and even mandatory. Severe blood loss can lead to death, and using the special elastic bandage will prevent this until the specialized medical team arrives.

Often, providing initial medical care can be the decisive factor in saving a human life. The car first aid kit can also be useful if the driver or any of the passengers feel unwell or nauseous. In that case, the first aid kit should contain the necessary medications. These are not included in the kit but should be considered if there are passengers with certain medical conditions.

What types are available

Modern first aid kits can come in different types depending on their purpose. In the Bultex99 online store, you can find kits for cars, for walls, and for offices. The last two types usually consist of a hard plastic box. Car kits can also be made from textile. They are flexible and dense, made from synthetic material with a zipper.
