I hate to admit to knowing this, but it sounds suspiciously like the
Micronauts (especially a spin-off 'new journeys' series of comic books 
-
from the early 80's) - I was in Junior High School at the time - at
least
that's the excuse I'm using.

One of the power-armour science fiction stories I've read (maybe the
Forever War???) had the suits with this kind of built-in medical
functions.
 They had razor-sharp iris valves at each joint in the arms and legs, so
if
you had a massive wound/suit penetration (especially in zero-atmosphere
or
hostile-atmosphere environments) SNIP and the joint was sealed.  They
also
had limb regrowth, so it wasn't completely dehabilitating...
