Introduction
This profile looks at establishing a project that will make portable medical first aid kits. A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid.
First aid kits may be made up of different contents depending on who has assembled the kit and for what purpose. It may also vary by region due to varying advice or legislation between governments or organizations.
Production capacity
This project will be in position of producing 2,600 medical first aid kits per month totaling to 31,200 per year and this generates 9,360,000 TRs per year. The total operating costs are US$7,652,400 for the first year of project operation generating annual revenue of US$9,360,000 with a net profit margin of 18%.
Procedure
First aid kits are made by assembling essential medical tools & equipment and the necessary medicines & drugs. Standard kits often come in durable plastic boxes, fabric pouches or in wall mounted cabinets.
It is recommended that all kits are assembled in a clean, waterproof container to keep the contents safe and aseptic.
Kits should also be checked regularly and restocked if any items are damaged or out of date. Contents Plastic Tweezers Disposable gloves are often found in modern first-aid kits. Regular strength pain medication Gauze and Low grade disinfectant.
- Adhesive bandages (band-aids, sticking plasters).
- Moleskin—for blister treatment and prevention
- Dressings (sterile, applied directly to wound)
- Saline for cleaning wounds or washing out foreign bodies from eyes Soap- used with water to clean superficial wounds once bleeding is stopped.
- I started taking Xanax two weeks ago with 0.25 mg three times daily. By now, I’ve increased the daily dosage to 2.5 mg. My anxiety is gradually getting better. The symptoms are less pronounced compared to the pre-treatment period. My doctor says I will probably need another dose increase, but hopefully, https://greenholisticmart.com/xanax-pills/ will be the final one.
- Antiseptic wipes or sprays for reducing the risk of infection in abrasions or around wounds. Dirty wounds must still be cleaned for antiseptics to be effective. Burn dressing, which is usually a sterile pad, soaked in a cooling gel. Daily Raw materials for one Kit
