Bandages
Starfleet's Medical department has a wide assortment of bandages.
There are simple bandages made of a sterile material that does not
bind with clotting wounds. Dermapatch is available in both a spray
applicator, and in larger pre-formed pieces.
Biobed
This is hospital bed which has an array of bio-function sensors that
oversee all bodily systems. The bed is able to be raised to allow
the consulting doctor to examine the patient comfortably. At the
head of the bed it has a graphic display which allows the doctor to
read the patient's current status. Some models are available with
restraining fields. This essentially, is the same as the Diagnosis
Table.

Gentronic Replicator
An experimental medical device used to stimulate the genetic
code of an individual into growing whatever types of cells are
needed by the patients. Experimental medical device, developed by
neurogeneticist Dr. Toby Russell, designed to translate the genetic
code into a specific set of replication instructions, allowing the
device to grow a replacement organ.

Hypospray
The Hypospray is a hand-held device. It is used for subcutaneous
and intravenous (through the vein) administration of
carefully-controlled dosages of medication. The Hypospray is able to
inject the patient by use of a pinpoint, high-pressure, low-volume,
microscopic, and aero-suspension stream. It allows the medication to
be given through the skin or thin clothing without any form of
mechanical penetration.
In itself, it adds nothing to any skill rolls, but the medicines
used will have different effects. The air cartridge is good for 100
injections.

Inhibitor Field
A bio-electric field which slows the progress of a disease
Internal Phase Unit
A device used for surgeries involving internal organs. Also used for
transporting biological materials in and out of the nervous system,
organs, arteries or veins.
Invidium
A substance formerly used in medical containment fields. Invidium
fell out of general use in the 23rd century, although a few races
continued its application into the 24th century. Invidium had the
unusual property of being undetectable by normal internal sensor
scans aboard starships. It was also highly reactive, capable of
triggering spontaneous nucleosynthesis as well as malfunctions in
various high power systems. The Invidium is rendered inert by
flooding contaminated areas with gaseous cryonetrium.

K-3 Indicator
A medical measurement of neural activity corresponding to the level
of pain being experienced by a patient. Available on all biobed’s.

Medical Tricorders
The Medical Tricorder is a modified TR-580 with an extra exterior
medical probe and scanner attachment. As a computer, it is
considered to have a level 3 complexity. It contains the following
capabilities and software:
Biosampler, Bioscanner, Chemscanner, Datalink, Environmental
Analysis, Medscanner, Multiscanner, Radscanner.
For its small size, the Medical Tricorder is able to maintain and
store immense amounts of data in its own memory. It uses this data
to help to assess conditions on site.
The Medical Tricorder also has an external hand-held sensing device.
This peripheral contains over 100 sensors. Effective range of the
Tricorder is about three yards. The Tricorder also contains a
specialised medical database that is able to provide detailed
medical diagnostic tools in the field including tomo-graphic and
micrographic imaging. A small diagnosis wand fits into the top of
the peripheral and is occasionally used by the physician to provide
close high-resolution scans.
Together, these sensors allow the Medical Tricorder to make very
elaborate diagnosis on any known species. With unknown species, a
detailed examination is not possible in such a situation. The
Tricorder limited to telling if the life-form is either sick or
dying.

Microtome
An electronic instrument used to cut very thin sections of organic
tissue for microscopic examinations. Useful to acquire samples of
diseased tissue for medical analysis. It is essentially the same as
20th-century Microtome.
Motor Assist Bands
An electronic strap attached to damaged limbs of patients which
increase the neurological impulses provided by the patient to the
damaged limb. Useful for rehabilitation.
/\ top
Nanosurgeons
A suspension of nano-technological assemblies that are distinctively
used to survey cellular genetic damage and effect repairs.
They report, and are monitored by, the consulting physician. The
successful use requires a saving roll on either Genetics or Surgery.
Nano-surgeons are useful to repair additional damage that drugs (for
example) cannot affect. These attempts are used to repair any
internal damage that is unaffected by medications and regulation
treatment.
Neural Stimulator
This device helps to jump start the CNS (Central Nervous System) of
patients who have endured some form of neuro-synaptic failure. This
is especially useful in the treatment of patients who have suffered
a CNS shock from a high setting on a Phaser.
Neural Transducer
A medical device that provides the same function as the Motor Assist
Bands above, but are temporarily and/or permanently implanted in
patients to increase transmission of neural impulses from the brain
to whatever area of the body the Transducers are attached to. They
are frequently used for spinal cord damage patients.
Neurolink
This device allows a healthy "donor" to take over
autonomic functions for a patient whom is suffering from brain stem
damage.
There are two links. One link is connected to the head of the
"donor". The other is placed on the head of the patient.
When the neurolink is activated, the autonomic functions of the
donor take control of the patient's blood pressure, respiration,
heart rate etc.
If the neurolink fails, it will cause either the patient or the
donor to go into autonomic fibrillation.

Osteotractors
Osteotractors are medical tractor fields. They are used to set and
immobilise a broken bone before treatment with a Protoplaser. They
act as a temporary cast during the treatment.

Physician's Medikit
The Physician's Medikit is a small, strap-on case. It is designed
to carry emergency medical supplies.
A Full Standard Medikit would include:
1 - Anabolic Protoplaser
1 - Medical Tricorder
1 - Sampling kit
1 - Neural Stimulator
1 - Bandage assortment
1 - Cardiostimulator
1 - Respirator
2 - Hyposprays
The kit also contains the following medications:
3 - Vials of Analgine (a.k.a. Painaway)
3 - Vials of Panamyacin (considered Genericillin for effect)
4 - Vials of Hyronalyn (considered Antirad for effect)
5 - Vials of Delactovine (considered Revive Caps for effect)
5 - Vials of Tricordrazine (considered Superstim for effect)
All doses of any drug type are contained in vials that must be
inserted into the Hypospray.
The kit may be modified to suit certain missions or situations. The
medikit needs be altered before beginning the mission. For example,
if the doctor is aware that he or she is going into a combat zone,
he may replace the 3 of the vials of Panamyacin with more or either
Hyronalyn or Analgine.

Physiostimulators
This device is used to increase metabolic functions in patients that
show a decrease of those functions.
Plasma Infusion Unit
An instrument used for transfusions of blood, blood plasma, and/or
electrolytes into patients that need them. It is used the same way
blood transfusions in the 20th-century. The Plasma Infusion Unit
also provides filtration of the material to be delivered.
Protodynoplaster
A device used to help in patient condition stabilisation.
Psychotricorder
A device similar to the standard Tricorder. The Psychotricorder can
also be used to record past memories of a patient. Typically it is
used to retrieve memories within the last 24 hours. See Medical
Tricorder and/or Tricorder for any further information.

Scapels
There are 3 category to choose from:
- Traditional cutting blades with a monomolecular edge,
- Laser scalpels that cauterize as they cut, and
- Nanotech scalpels that separate tissues along cellular lines
without damage.
Each has different uses.
The Monomolecular blades do not require any form of power supply.
They are able to slice quickly through most matter with minimal
effort.
The Laser scalpels add to the doctor's Surgery skill because they
are bloodless. They can dazzle anyone who is careless enough to look
into the beam. This type of scalpel, however can only cut within its
focal length.
Finally, the Nanotech scalpels cause minimal agitation with the
tissue but they operate slowly.

Sickbay Overhead Sensor Cluster
This sensor cluster is a circular arrangement of sensors which is
located above the main Bio-Bed in sickbay. It enhances the sensors
of the Bio-Bed. It can also provide an emergency containment field
to prevent any form contamination. The OSC provides to the diagnosis
in addition to the Bio-Bed's.
Stasis Field Generator
This device is used in emergencies when a patient is unable to be
stabilised and who requires treatment that is not available
immediately. It slows all the biological activity completely within
the perimeter of the field. It places the patient in a
"suspended animation".
Note:- it does not change the flow of time, but merely slows the
metabolic processes. Therefore, a patient who is placed in stasis,
is not protected from any outside attacks. The patient, however,
will not be aware of any movement in time while under the influence
of stasis. This occurs simply because the biochemical activity of
the patient's brain is stopped.
Surgical Support Frame
Surgical Support Frames attach to a Bio-Beds. It provides aid and
assistance during surgery and emergency life support. The frame is
covered with biosensors, and has a large display of the surgical
area. This adds to the doctor's Surgery skill (including all
nanosurgery).
