In recent years, the public's awareness of lifesaving and the principles of first aid has been growing rapidly, which is extremely gratifying. Even from serious accidents, more and more people are recovering fully, not only thanks to advances in medicine, but also thanks to the fact that help is provided quickly and in the right way. Increasingly, you can meet people who carry a first aid kit with them everywhere, even in the city - which is definitely a good idea considering that it is in the urban agglomeration that unfortunate accidents occur most often, the consequences of which are all kinds of injuries. In the category below you will find a selection of first aid kits from Pentagon, which are great examples of small, portable first aid kits that can be taken with you on any hike and beyond.
Pentagon is a Greek-origin company, which in the beginning offered equipment and clothing from the military demobilization of the Greek, German and American armies. With the rapid growth in popularity of the company's products, the assortment continued to grow, and at the moment Pentagon is one of the most popular providers of military-tactical clothing, and recently - also tourist clothing. An affordable price and excellent quality of the products offered are the hallmarks of this company.
But back to the first aid trays - Pentagon's first aid kits are small, several inches long trays for the most necessary first aid accessories, including two types of bandages, scissors, tape, an absorbent bandage, several safety pins, hand disinfectant wipes, latex gloves and two CPR masks. The first aid kits themselves are made of durable polyester material interwoven with Rip-Stop weave. They are also equipped with a convenient fastener compatible with the MOLLE system, so you can easily attach them not only to your belt, but also to a backpack or kidney equipped with horizontal, characteristic straps. Thanks to this solution, you will easily attach the first aid kit to the outside of your backpack, so that in a crisis situation you will always have it at hand, and it will not unnecessarily take up space in your backpack. They are available in several color variants - olive, coytote, red and beige.
There are different views on the equipment of a first aid kit and what should be included in it. Pentagon first aid kits are hard to fault anything about the factory equipment, but the final shape of the selection of accessories is a highly individual matter, and everyone should ask themselves what other items they need to have in it. For our part, we can recommend getting an extremely versatile emergency foil, which should be in the equipment of every bushcrafter and paramedic. It's a good idea to add a small battery-operated flashlight or chemical light for limited visibility.
First-aid kits and other trays, organizers and clothing from Greek manufacturer Pentagon are of high quality and serve for many years, depending on the degree of use. That's why they are an excellent choice for uniformed services and paramedics who want to slightly upgrade or individualize their medical equipment. However, you don't have to be a representative of the medical or rescue services to keep yourself and others around you safe. Even in the city, you can become a witness to a dangerous accident, and it is highly likely that you have already seen one. Often in such situations, chaos reigns, and people in a panic look for first aid kits, which are either in locked cars or have to be made available by stores or buildings near the incident - but this takes precious seconds, and each one in such a situation is arch-important. That's why we're advocating that everyone should have such equipment at their fingertips in every situation, so that they can help when needed - even just by making their Pentagon first aid kit available - and you may be contributing to saving someone's life.
