| |
| The '''Health Pack''' is a first aid kit containing the standard combat wound treatment, which is used by all [[UNSC]] combat personnel, ranging from [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] to even [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]]. Each Health Pack contains an amount of [[biofoam]], a stitch kit, [[polypseudomorphine]], self-adhering antiseptic battle dressings, and other useful field dressing components.

|
| Health Packs are standard requirements aboard many UNSC ships for medical events. Health packs are often seen on corridor walls at regular intervals. There are also two health packs located in a [[Pelican]]. Both of them are on each side of the door to the cockpit. They seem to be more rectangular in shape than regular health packs and are inaccessible to the player.
| | On the battle field, [[Marines]], and even [[Spartans]] need to have health packs, or MedKits, available. Each MedKit carries small stores of BioFoam (see below), stitch kit, sedatives, and bandages, and other useful field dressing components. |

|
| ==Gameplay==
| | BioFoam is a healing, coagulant foam that is inserted into the skin and even deeper into the body itself. This foam keeps damaged organs in place and helps stop bleeding and hemorrhaging. It is, unfortunately, very painful to use. |
| The Health Packs are present in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' only. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Health Pack would fill the player's health, but would have no effect on their shields. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', health regenerates with an integrated [[biofoam]] dispenser within the new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mk VI]]. In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the health packs are dispensed from [[Optican]] [[Medical Kiosk]]s and they use a privately-manufactured healing agent known as [[Optican#MediGel|MediGel]]. In ''Halo: Reach'', the Health Packs are nearly identical to those seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', with a noticeable difference being the change of the symbol from a red cross to a red uppercase letter "H".

| == Trivia ==
| | These are only in the first [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]] video game. In [[Halo 2]], health regenerates on its own, much like the [[Master Chief|Master Chief's]] [[Shields]] |
| *When a Health Pack is picked up, the player will become momentarily blinded by a white flash. However, this goes away instantly if passing through a [[teleporter]].
