Salewa First Aid Kit Expedition

DESCRIPTION

The Salewa First Aid Kit Expedition is a compact first aid kit designed for high-altitude hiking, ski touring, and expeditions in alpine environments, where the distance from rescue services makes it essential to have a reliable and complete medical kit close at hand.

Content and Technical Equipment

The kit includes materials for managing the most common emergencies in mountain environments: 15 individual transparent plasters, 2 specific blister plasters (essential for long ski traverses), 1 wound compress, and 1 first aid dressing for larger injuries. For cleaning and disinfection, 4 skin cleansing wipes and 4 dry swabs are included, while adhesive tape allows dressings to be secured even in cold and humid conditions.

• 1 pair of disposable gloves for protection during dressing procedures
• 1 pair of 12.7 cm scissors and 1 metal tweezers for precision interventions
• 6 safety pins for improvised fastening of bandages or clothing
• 1 wound closure strip for superficial skin lacerations
• 1 isothermal first aid blanket for managing hypothermia while awaiting rescue

Why take it on an expedition

In contexts such as multi-day ski touring or high-altitude expeditions, the isothermal blanket and management of open wounds can make a difference in critical situations. The kit is organized for quick access to materials even with gloves on, making it a practical tool and not just an optional extra in your backpack.
