One of the busiest boating weekends of the year is coming up. It's Labor Day weekend and we know that many of you will want to get in as much boating time as possible. But will you be prepared for an unexpected injury or accident? There are a few essentials we think you should keep inside your marine first aid kit. We recommend you have the following:
- antiseptic
- topical anesthetic wipes
- waterproof adhesive bandages
- butterfly bandages to close open wounds
- bandages to wrap sprained ankles or wrists
- gauze sponges
- medical adhesive tape
- pieces of splint material to stabilize suspected broken bones
- motion-sickness bags
- cold and pain reliever medications
- blunt-tipped bandage scissors
- tweezers
- flashlight
- Easy-to-understand first aid instructional booklet
Any other items you would carry inside your marine first aid kit?
