medical supplies
First aid contents
Medical supplies are the consumable materials and equipment used in healthcare settings—bandages, syringes, gauze, gloves, catheters, and the like.
The term distinguishes these items from pharmaceuticals (drugs) and durable medical equipment (wheelchairs, hospital beds).
