First aid for children

From small to big

Wherever there is frolicking, tinkering or even experimenting, sufficient first aid supplies should be guaranteed for everyone!

Dear carers, educators and parents,

When children explore the world, it doesn't always happen without bruises. Of course, this is especially true for the little ones. But even the older ones are not safe from injuries. Wherever there is frolicking, tinkering or even experimenting, adequate first aid care should therefore be guaranteed for everyone - adults included!

Children up to 3 years

Early childhood care

Only products that have special properties have been selected as first aid contents for the SÖHNGEN® "Early Childhood Care" series - this is why many special dressings are included in dimensions suitable for small children. These offer you a high degree of user-friendliness and ensure very simple as well as fast wound care.

FAQ

What are the first aid equipment requirements for schools and kindergartens?

Schools, kindergartens and daycare centers are considered workplaces just like any administrative or industrial operation and are therefore subject to the same Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR). The equipment required depends on the number of employees and other potential hazards. Since there is no standard for first aid fillings in the area of children and adolescents, we have compiled a selection of products based on the most common causes of accidents that provide the user with the best possible first aid for external wounds/injuries in children and adolescents. However, these fillings do not replace the requirements of DIN 13157 / 13169 for employees in the respective company.

What does 20-year durability on sterile dressing materials from SÖHNGEN® mean?

Sterile dressing materials from SÖHNGEN® have a shelf life of 20 years from the date of manufacture, provided the sterile packaging is undamaged and stored properly. Relevant literature and standards works summarize the state of the art as follows: the loss of sterility is considered to be event-related and not time-related - that is, specifically: due to opening or damage to the packaging. Therefore, sterile products require careful handling and storage. First aid containers from SÖHNGEN® are exemplary in this respect. Common wound plasters do not come under the heading of sterile dressing materials. The usability here, especially with regard to adhesive strength, depends on the storage temperature. The adhesive strength of the plasters should be checked regularly.
