Why a Well-Equipped First Aid Kit Is Essential

Accidents happen faster than you think — while hiking in the Alps, working in the workshop, or simply during everyday life at home. A well-equipped first aid kit helps you react quickly and correctly. It allows you to treat minor injuries immediately and provide first aid in more serious cases until professional help arrives. In Switzerland, safety is taken seriously. That’s why functional first aid equipment belongs in every household, car, and workplace.

Overview of First Aid Kits at Heros Hygiene

In our online shop, we offer a wide range of first aid bags for different applications. Our sets are designed either to be compact for travel or extensive for professional use. Whether for sports clubs, businesses, or families on the go, we offer suitable solutions carefully assembled according to current regulations. The bags include items such as bandages, plasters, wound disinfectants, scissors, and disposable gloves. All sets can be conveniently ordered online and are ready for immediate use.

What to Look for When Buying a First Aid Kit

The intended use is key when purchasing a first aid kit. Those who travel or hike frequently need a compact, lightweight set. For businesses, legal requirements apply — for example, according to SUVA guidelines. When buying, make sure the bag is made of durable, water-repellent material and is well organized. Contents should be checked, complete, and sterile. If you’re unsure about what equipment is necessary, our team is happy to provide direct and practical advice.

First Aid on the Go: Perfect Sets for Travel and Excursions

For day trips, hikes, or travels across Switzerland, a travel set in a compact format is recommended. Our mobile first aid bags are designed to fit easily into any backpack or suitcase. Despite their handy size, they contain everything you might need while on the go. This includes wound disinfectants, various plaster sizes, sterile compresses, a rescue blanket, and a tick remover. Especially on family trips or outdoor activities, such a set should always be within easy reach.

First Aid Equipment for the Workplace

In Swiss companies, having functional first aid equipment is mandatory. We offer first aid bags and boxes specifically designed for use in work environments. Depending on the industry, different contents are required. A basic set is often sufficient for offices, while workshops or construction sites require more extensive equipment. Our models comply with the relevant standards and can be supplemented at any time with suitable refill kits. This ensures that first aid is always available when needed.

First Aid Sets for Sports Clubs and Teams

Sports activities can lead to injuries quickly, so it’s important to be well prepared. Our sports first aid bags are specially designed for typical injuries such as bruises, abrasions, or sprains. They contain instant cold packs, bandages, sports tape, wound spray, and more. Thanks to their lightweight, portable design, these sets can easily be taken to training sessions, competitions, or tournaments. Many clubs across Switzerland already rely on our sports sets.

First Aid Bag vs. First Aid Station – Which Is Better?

Both options have their advantages. A first aid bag is particularly flexible, easy to carry, and ideal for travel or personal use. The first aid station, on the other hand, offers more space, a sturdier case, and is well suited for fixed locations such as businesses, schools, or club facilities. In our range, you’ll find both solutions in various sizes. If you need help deciding, feel free to contact us — we’ll help you find the right product for your specific needs.
