The Horse & Rider First Aid Kit from Robinson Animal Healthcare has been updated to include a wider selection of first aid products for the rider, to treat minor injuries at the yard and when away competing.
When dealing with horses and carrying out yard duties, cuts and scrapes can often occur, so it is just as important to have human first aid supplies to hand as it is to a have a fully stocked first aid kit for your horse.
The kit now includes a 5cm x 5cm Skintact® wound dressing, a crepe bandage, a Stayform® dressing retention bandage, safety pins and FastAid® Microporous Tape to secure a dressing in place.
Readiwipes® Wet Hands and Face wipes and a pair of medical examination gloves are also included to ensure good hygiene when treating a wound to prevent infection. A box of FastAid® Waterproof Plasters completes the human kit.
The Horse & Rider First Aid Kit also contains all the necessary products required to cope with an unexpected equine emergency, including the market leading products, Animalintex®, which is the only VMD licensed multi-layered absorbent poultice available in the UK, and Veterinary Gamgee®.
Also included is an Equiwrap® bandage, a 15g tube of Vetalintex® wound hydrogel, a 10cm x 10cm Skintact® wound dressing and tough cut scissors for cutting dressings to size and the safe removal of bandages.
Easy to use, the Horse & Rider Kit comes in a handy, wipe clean bag with carry straps so the bag functions as a ruck sack.
The Horse & Rider First Aid Kit retails at around £24.95.
Robinson Animal Healthcare has a wide range of products for all your first aid requirements.
