Counts vary widely. Examples range from compact 12-piece kits up to multi-purpose travel kits of about 160 pieces.

An empty "build-your-own" bag is a reusable, often water-resistant pouch you fill with your chosen supplies. A prefilled travel kit arrives stocked with a set number of bandages, ointments, wipes, and other items.

Typical contents focus on basic wound care: antiseptic/cleansing wipes, adhesive/fabric bandages in assorted sizes, gauze or non-stick pads, and antibiotic ointment. Larger kits may also include pain-relief caplets, first-aid tape, butterfly wound-closure strips, and gloves.

Common items include flexible fabric adhesive bandages in assorted sizes, waterproof bandages, butterfly wound-closure strips, non-stick gauze pads, and in some kits, first-aid tape.

Listings vary: at least one kit explicitly notes it contains natural rubber latex, while others state items are latex-free or 'not made with natural rubber latex.' Some bandages are described as latex-free or designed for sensitive skin.
