Medishield MAS 319 Equipment First Aid Kit

The Medishield MAS 319 Equipment First Aid Kit is a compact, ready-assembled set of first aid supplies housed in a lightweight, weather-resistant case. It is designed as the more space-saving tier within Medishield’s equipment first aid kit range, bringing together everyday items such as adhesive plasters and dressings, antiseptic wipes, gauze, medical tape, a small pair of scissors or tweezers, disposable gloves, and a basic instruction guide.

Because of its compact size, the MAS 319 is well suited to a single household, a car glove box, a work desk drawer, or a personal travel bag, where storage space is limited but having a basic set of first-response supplies within reach still matters. It sits at the entry point of the Medishield MAS/MAM/MAL series, with the MAM 329 and MAL 339 offering progressively broader ranges of supplies for larger households, teams, or premises.

A first aid kit does not work through a biological or pharmacological mechanism — instead, its value lies in readiness and organisation. By keeping frequently needed items such as dressings, antiseptic wipes, tape, and gloves together in one labelled case, the MAS 319 keeps these supplies organised as a single, easy-to-locate set rather than scattered across different places.

This organised, all-in-one approach also helps ensure that the case stays complete and current, and that anyone in the household or workplace can quickly locate the kit and see what it contains.

Keep the MAS 319 kit in an easily accessible, clearly known location — for example a fixed spot at home, in the car, or at a desk — so that it can be reached quickly when needed. When treating a minor wound, wash your hands first if possible, clean the area with an antiseptic wipe, apply a plaster or dressing as appropriate, and dispose of used items hygienically.

After each use, check the kit and replace any items that have been used up, and periodically review the whole kit (for example every few months) to replace anything that has expired or is running low, so the kit remains ready for the next time it is needed.

Not applicable — this is not a medicine.

The case and equipment items (such as scissors or tweezers) do not have a fixed expiry date, but consumable contents such as antiseptic wipes, adhesive plasters, and dressings may carry their own expiry dates. Check individual item packaging and replace anything expired.

Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and away from young children’s reach, particularly because it may contain small items, sharp instruments, or medicated products. Keep the case closed when not in use to keep the contents clean and organised.

• Not applicable — a first aid kit itself is a container of supplies and is not applied to the body, so it does not cause side effects the way a medicine would.
• Individual contents such as antiseptic wipes, adhesive tape, or ointments may occasionally cause mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals; discontinue use of that item if this occurs.

• Not applicable in the way a medicine has contraindications, as this is an equipment kit rather than a drug.
• Keep the kit, and particularly any sharp instruments (scissors, safety pins, tweezers) or medicated items inside it, out of reach of young children.
• Anyone with a known allergy or sensitivity to a specific item inside the kit (such as certain adhesives or antiseptic solutions) should avoid using that particular item.

• Not applicable — this is a first aid equipment kit, not a medicine.

• Check the kit’s contents every few months and before travelling, replacing anything that is expired, used up, or running low.
• Keep the kit in a labelled, easy-to-find location that everyone in the household or workplace knows about.
• Store away from young children, especially because the kit may contain scissors, safety pins, or other sharp items.
• Bring the kit along on trips, hikes, or long drives for on-the-go readiness.
• Learn basic first aid and CPR skills through a recognised course.
• Note down the details of your nearest clinic or emergency number alongside the kit for quick reference.

Precautions: Keep the kit and its contents, especially any sharp instruments or medicated items, out of reach of young children. If a specific item inside the kit causes irritation or an allergic reaction on your skin, stop using that item and try an alternative. This kit is a basic supplies case only, and is not a substitute for professional medical equipment or training.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek medical attention for wounds that are deep, heavily bleeding, show signs of infection (increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pus, or fever), or do not heal as expected, as well as for burns, suspected fractures, or any injury requiring professional assessment. Speak with our pharmacist team if you are unsure which items to restock or how to use a particular item in the kit.
