http://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B00CNHLT76 Essential Treatment offers a basic first aid kit for your home, vehicle/car, camper, and work. In fact, you name the location and you will want one there. This video discusses the many uses for one of the items off the content list in Essential Treatment's First Aid Kits.

That item is the triangular bandage. It is made of a non-stretch material. It can be used for something as easy as holding gauze in position or to help splint broken bones. Let's take an injured arm for example. The triangular bandage can be used as a sling to hold the arm in a bent position over the chest. If accessible, a second triangular bandage can be used to help restrain the arm. The same is true if you have a fractured collarbone or a dislocated shoulder. You can likewise use this bandage for emergencies with an injured ankle or leg.

Besides being used as a sling, this bandage can be folded up into a rectangular shape and used with a head wound. You would just drape the rectangular piece around the head, 'til the injury was fully covered. Be certain not to wrap the nose or mouth, obstructing the individual's ability to breathe. Furthermore, this rectangular-shaped bandage can be used to cover other big wounds. When it is wrapped around the wound it can help absorb the blood and stop additional bleeding.

There are several other useful items in this first aid kit bag. Their uses will be included in future videos. Suffice it to say this kit contains the essential elements needed in any emergency, small or large.
