A '''health pack''' is a first aid kit containing the standard combat wound treatment, which is used by all [[United Nations Space Command|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.

==Gameplay==
The Health Packs are  present in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' . 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]] [[First aid station|Medical Kiosks]] 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 ==
*When a health pack is picked up, the player will become momentarily blinded by a white flash. However, this goes away instantly if the player passes through a [[teleporter]].
*The reason why the red cross was removed from health packs is that the International Red Cross objects to the use of red cross symbols in inappropriate contexts. Around 2006, after the release of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Red Cross took the position that use of red cross symbols in video game "health kits" is inappropriate, and game developers ceased using them.<ref>[http://boingboing.net/2006/02/09/canadian-red-cross-w.html '''BoingBoing.net''': ''Canadian Red Cross wastes its money harassing video game makers'']</ref>
*In ''Halo: Reach'', a health pack also regenerates the player's shields.

-*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', a health pack also regenerates the player's shields. The player cannot pick up a health pack if their health is full but their shields are down, such as when playing with the [[Black Eye]] [[skull]]. This can be circumvented by damaging oneself, such as with a grenade or a plasma pistol overcharge fired at close range.
