Medique 712MTM 3-Shelf First Aid Cabinet Overview

Who It Is For

Because this cabinet ships empty, its usefulness depends on how you stock and maintain it. When you fill it, choose nitrile gloves rather than latex, so a responder or an injured worker with a latex allergy is not put at risk, and keep them where they are easy to reach. Remember what a general first-aid station is for: everyday cuts, burns, and minor injuries. It is not a trauma kit, so for severe, life-threatening bleeding you need a dedicated trauma kit or IFAK with a tourniquet and hemostatic dressing, and for any serious injury you call emergency services immediately — this cabinet supplements professional care, it does not replace it. Audit the contents on a schedule, replace anything used or expired, and match the fill to your worksite's hazards and to any ANSI first-aid class your site follows. See best trauma kits and IFAKs and best workplace first-aid kits to round out the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 712MTM come with any first-aid supplies?

No. The 712MTM ships empty; it is the cabinet only, with three shelves and twelve door pockets. You stock it yourself with the bandages, dressings, and other supplies your workplace needs, which lets you tailor the contents rather than pay for a preset fill.

What are the cabinet's dimensions?

It measures about 16 inches high by 13.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep. That footprint suits a wall by a shop entrance, break room, or shipping area, and the 5.5-inch depth holds boxed supplies on the shelves while keeping smaller items in the door pockets.

What is the cabinet made of?

It is a painted steel cabinet, which is more durable and tamper-resistant than a plastic case for a fixed station. Steel stands up to a busy shop or garage environment and keeps the contents protected from dust and knocks better than a soft pouch.

Can I wall-mount it, or is it portable?

It is designed as a wall-mounted station so supplies stay in a known, fixed spot, though its size also lets you set it on a shelf or counter. Mount it at an accessible height near where injuries are most likely, and keep the location clearly marked.

Does the cabinet lock?

The 712MTM is a swing-door cabinet intended for quick access rather than a locked, secured unit. If you need to restrict access or secure medications, confirm the exact latch on your unit and add a supplemental lock or choose a lockable cabinet.

Is a first-aid cabinet the same as a trauma kit?

No. A first-aid cabinet handles everyday cuts, burns, and minor injuries. It is not a trauma kit: severe, life-threatening bleeding needs a dedicated trauma kit or IFAK with a tourniquet and hemostatic dressing, which are different products for a different emergency.

Should I stock latex or nitrile gloves?

Stock nitrile gloves rather than latex. Nitrile avoids latex-allergy reactions in both the responder and the injured person, resists many chemicals better, and is the common workplace standard. Keep several pairs in a door pocket where they are easy to grab.

Can I fill it with supplies from any brand?

Yes. Because it is an empty cabinet, you can stock it with Medique refills or any other brand's bandages, dressings, and supplies. Match what you stock to your worksite hazards and, if required, to the ANSI first-aid kit class your site follows.

Is a first-aid cabinet a substitute for calling 911?

No. A first-aid cabinet supports first aid for minor injuries and initial care while help is on the way. For serious injuries, call emergency services immediately; the cabinet supplements professional medical care, it does not replace it.

How much can the cabinet hold?

With three shelves plus twelve door pockets, it holds enough supplies for a small-to-medium station. The shelves take boxed items and bulk rolls, while the pockets organize small tools and single-use packets so responders can find things fast under pressure.

How do I clean and maintain the cabinet?

Wipe the steel with a mild cleaner, keep the interior dry, and check that the door closes properly. Inspect the contents on a schedule, replace anything used or expired, and confirm the station is fully stocked so it is ready when someone needs it.

What should I do after using items from the cabinet?

Restock any used items promptly so the next person finds a full station, and log what was used if your program tracks it. A cabinet is only useful if it is kept stocked, so build restocking into your routine after every use and audit.
