medkit

Portable healing supplies

A medkit is a portable container of medical supplies for treating injuries—bandages, antiseptics, painkillers, and the like.

The term is especially common in video games, where medkits restore a character's health: I'm low on health, looking for a medkit.

Outside gaming, first aid kit is more standard.
