Typically, you can acquire medical supplies when you visit the local Reliant Medical building.Various merchants may supply what you need, as well. I found the Analgesic Poultice and Zipper Bandages offered at theTrade Authoritybuilding inNeon, for instance. The Reliant Medical in that city offered the Bandages, Infused Bandages, and Zipper Bandages.
