first aid kits
Portable medical supplies
A first aid kit is a collection of medical supplies and equipment kept together for treating minor injuries and emergencies.
Standard kits typically contain bandages, antiseptic wipes, gauze, tape, scissors, and pain relievers, though contents vary based on intended use—workplace kits differ from camping kits or home versions.
Every car should have a first aid kit in the trunk.
The term is sometimes used figuratively for any emergency preparedness collection.
