Abstract

An emergency medical kit includes a carrying case of approximately briefcase or small suitcase size with the upper and lower sections divided into a large number of compartments by insertion of a plastic organizer. Each compartment is directed to a particular medical emergency and is so identified on its cover or lid. The reverse side of the compartment cover has instructions for treating the particular emergency, while the compartment contains the necessary care items for that particular emergency. A divider is held by snaps across the upper section of the case to help contain the contents and also provides instruction for use of the kit, some general first aid information, and a list of emergency telephone numbers.
