First Aid Fanny Pack : What is it?

A first aid fanny pack is a first aid kit worn around the waist for hands-free carrying. It is a small fabric pouch secured by a zipper suspended between two straps. It is worn in front instead of behind the waist. It is commonly sold complete with first aid items. A first aid fanny pack is ideal for hiking, camping, traveling, and sports activities. It is commonly used by coaches, P.E. instructors, and nurses, who require a first aid kit on hand.

Types of First Aid Fanny Packs

Kinds of First Aid Fanny Packs include the following:

Basic first aid fanny pack

A basic first aid fanny pack is meant for low-risk situations. It contains items needed for basic emergencies such as a pack of pain relievers, knuckle badges, large bandages, antiseptic wipes, alcohol wipes, and wash and dry towelettes.

Professional first aid fanny pack

A professional first aid fanny pack is designed for nurses, Red Cross volunteers, EMS workers, and playground coaches. It has more compartments and capacity for storage. It is usually made with scissors and pen loops, pockets for bandages, Velcro web loops for attaching tape rolls, loops for safety goggles, hidden zippered pockets with flaps, and an emergency belt that can be used for car seats.
