Medical First Aid Kits and Supplies
No one knows where and when emergency situation may appear, so medical first aid kits and supplies are absolutely necessary for everyday life. Quite often quick help can save person's life and waiting is a huge risk. Even in case of light injuries that do not require calling to emergency we still need to apply some medical care, so keeping first aid supplies handy is a good idea. At home, office or in your car – medical first aid kits do not need much space, keep everything in order and can be reached within seconds in case of need.
So you have decided to get your first aid kit. Firs think of the place where you are going to store your medical first aids and supplies as, for example, keeping your kit in a car applies some limitations to its size. Certainly, this doesn’t mean you need to put just hydrogen peroxide and patch to your first aid supply, but gathering a half of drug store is also not a good idea. Try to keep balance, find a proper container that is both functional and light weighted, so you can put all necessary stuff to it. First aid kits should contain all items that are necessary for first aid treatment. If you, your friends or family members have some specific health problems, it's better to keep items for them within reach too.
After everything is ready, do not keep your medical first aid kits and supplies far away or hide them. Find a good location where your kit will be within reach. Your children, in case you have them, should also know the importance of keeping first aid kits. If your children are big enough, you can even teach them how to use this kit. By the way, having various first aid supplies is not necessary as you can make one quality medical first aid kit, put it handy and take it with you in case of need, for example, when you're going to drive somewhere.
An average composition of medical first aid kits and supplies includes adhesive tapes, bandages, clinical gloves, antibacterial aids, cotton balls, sometimes you may find where medications or even eye goggles. You can try to make your own first aid supplies or find a drugstore and buy ready all-in-one solution.

What should I put on my horse first aid kit?
I'm starting a first aid kit for my horse...
I've seen many places where people say to add diapers to the list; what are horse diapers???
Also, what would you recommend I add to my first aid list?
1. 0.9% isotonic sterile saline.....the best wound treatment for any open wound is a flush with saline. Using about 15 lbs of pressure (moderate), and a syringe or squeeze bottle, a wound is flushed thoroughly. This debrides the wound, the salt dehydrates bacteria, killing it, and the flush also drowns additional microbes. Saline is balanced with body fluids. It won't swell healthy cells (which kills them), and doesn't destroy healthy tissue needed for healing.
Povidone Iodine, hydrogen peroxide, wound powders, and other harsh chemical compounds and solutions all are cytotoxic, meaning they destroy healthy cells. These cells become food for bacteria and encourage infection. By slowing healing, they encourage proud flesh. These are no longer recommended to use on any open or healing wounds.
Sterile saline is also safe to use as an eyewash.
2. Hydrogel or EMT ointment, or both.....antibiotic creams and oil based ointments are not recommended for wound treatment. They produce an immune rejection response which delays healing. They also create an alkaline environment that encourages fungal infection of the wound.
EMT is a collagen gel that adheres well, promotes healing, and prevents proud flesh. Hydrogel does the virtually the same. Both reduce scar tissue formation. Both keep the wound moist which is essential to healing. The collagen gel is also great for lesions such as scratches or others.
3. Kling bandage wrap for wrapping areas where vetwrap is too rigid, such as hocks. Elastikon tape to secure bandage wraps. Sterile gauze, both non-stick and fiber types. Use non-stick for most wounds, and the fiber gauze for wounds that require debriding when the dressing is removed.
4. Cotton balls, cotton pads (like makeup removal pads), and sterile cotton gauze for drying and debriding lesions and scabs, cleaning around wounds, etc.
Are you sure people don't mean to add infant disposable diapers, which can be used to make hoof poultices? I always have them on hand.
It looks like everything else is already listed here in other answers.
Add.....one more thing. I use K-Y jelly for sheath cleaning, and it is better to use K-Y as a lubricant for a rectal thermometer than vaseline, since K-Y is water soluble.
But the original formula. We use it for all lubricant applications as nurses, and it is good to have on hand.
