medkits
Portable healing boxes
Medkits are portable containers of medical supplies for treating injuries, especially in emergencies or combat situations.
The term comes from video games, where picking up a medkit restores a character's health: I need to find a medkit before the next fight.
Outside gaming, medkit is casual shorthand for first aid kit.
