Motor vehicle first aid kit - the differences and applications

There are differences in car first aid kits, depending on the manufacturer and model. Some car first aid kits contain only the basic first aid materials, such as first aid kits, plasters and gauze bandages, while others also contain more specialised items such as a torch, a warning triangle or a traffic waistcoat. Some car first aid kits are more compact and lighter, ideal for everyday use, while others are larger and more comprehensive and contain more materials.

There are also car first aid kits that are specially designed for specific purposes, such as outdoor use, winter use or long-distance driving. These usually contain more specialised items such as hand warmers or emergency rations. There are also motor vehicle first aid kits standardised by DIN 13164, these are specifically designed to meet the requirements of rescue services and fire brigades and also contain more specialised items such as oxygen or a respirator mask.

It is advisable to compare the different models and manufacturers to find the car first aid kit that best suits your needs. It is important to ensure that the box is regularly checked and refilled so that it is always ready for use.

These wounds can be treated with an automotive first aid kit

• Lacerations: These are wounds caused by a hard object that penetrate the skin and subcutaneous tissue. They can be treated with bandages, gauze bandages, and plasters
• Abrasions: These are sores caused by rubbing or chafing the skin. They can be treated with plasters or gauze bandages

It is important to note that a car first aid kit is not normally designed to treat serious injuries or severe bleeding. It is best to call a doctor or emergency care quickly in an emergency.

You should also always seek medical attention for injuries to the head or back, or for injuries that have occurred as a result of an accident.
