First Aid

Just like it sounds, first aid is the first help you give to someone who is suddenly injured. The aim of first aid is to promote healing and to minimise the risk of infection. Often, you can treat minor injuries successfully at home with the right know-how and products.

With minor wounds, it is important to clean the wound. Contamination can delay or prevent healing. Flush the wound with sterile saline or warm clean tap water in order to remove debris. Single use tubes of sterile saline are available from your pharmacy and are a must have for any First Aid Kit.

Elastoplast has a range of products for even the most sensitive of skin or the
toughest of situations. A quick solution for any cuts or abrasions. Seals all around the wound to provide an optimal healing environment that promotes regeneration and helps prevent infection.

Crystacide Cream is the strongest antibacterial cream available without a
prescription. Crystacide can be used to prevent infection occurring or to fight minor skin infections. Unlike antibiotic creams, there is no risk of bacterial resistance — Crystacide will keep destroying bacteria, no matter how often you use it.
