What is first aid?

Have a read through the description below and try and match each item up with the correct piece of equipment in the box above:

  • Plasters
    We've all fallen over and got a scratch or graze! Plasters are just for the job - they help protect small cuts and keep infection out.
  • Bandages
    They are usually rolled up and come in all different lengths. They can be used to give support to an injured joint like your knee or ankle.
  • Triangular bandages
    These bandages are triangular for a reason - their shape helps to make an effective sling for your arm.
  • Cleansing wipes
    These wipes help to clean the area around the wound and help to wipe away any dirt.
  • Scissors
    Use these to snip bandages and dressings into the right shape and size.
