first aid kit
Bandages and antiseptic
A first aid kit is a collection of medical supplies for treating minor injuries and stabilizing someone until professional help arrives.
Standard kits include bandages, antiseptic, gauze, tape, and pain relievers.
They're kept in homes, cars, and workplaces: Grab the first aid kit—I cut my hand.
