Washington Post Here Are the Home Medical Items Nurses Swear By BAYADA

Nurse-approved medical essentials for your medicine cabinet

The Washington Post interviewed nurses, including BAYADA's own Jessica Wise, to share essential medical supplies they rely on to respond quickly to common injuries and emergencies in their own homes. Jessica highlighted several must-have items, including burn gel and a dechoker.

"Burn gel is crucial to stop wounds from continuing to burn and blister. Saline wound wash as a “hurt free” rinse for boo-boos. My kiddos think it’s magic! Butterfly dressings to help keep wounds/cuts closed. A Dechoker helps remove foreign objects from airways — you will never know when you need it! All the Band-Aids: every shape, size, color and character of Band-Aids, because the kids go through 100 a day, even if they aren’t actually needed."
