1. Adhesive tape such as Band-aid for minor cuts and injuries.
2. Anti-septic liquid ( a small bottle of Dettol or Savalon).
3. Sterile Gauze pad in varying sizes and an adhesive tape to secure them ( I prefer the Johnson and Johnson First Aid Tape) The Adhesive tape can also secure small cuts and bruises effectively.
