Medical bag

A medical bag (also called a doctor's bag or physician's bag) is a portable bag used by a physician or other medical professional to transport medical supplies and medicine.

[1][2] Traditionally, the medical bag was made of leather, opened on the top with a split-handle design.

During the American Civil War, physician's medical saddle bags were used.

[3] Modern medical bags are made of various materials and come in various designs that can include many pockets, pouches, and zippered or hook-and-loop openings.

Indigenous North American medicine men and shamans use a medicine bag.
