surgical kit

Scalpels and clamps

A surgical kit is a collection of instruments and supplies assembled for performing medical procedures.

The contents vary by purpose—a basic kit might contain scalpels, forceps, scissors, and sutures, while specialized kits serve particular operations.

The field medic opened the surgical kit and assessed what she had to work with.
