Medical technology
(Redirected from Hypospray)
Cardiac regulator
- Analogue to the 20th century pacemaker (SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 2")
- Regulates both cardiac rhythm and blood pressure (SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 2")
Cortical stimulator
- Device used to attempt induction of neural tissue through electrical stimulation for patients with low to no brain activity (Various)
- In use by 22nd century (ENT: "Observer Effect")
Delta wave inducer
- Sleep aid used to directly produce a state of sleep in a patient in order to aid healing via stimulating the production of delta waves in the brain (DS9: "The Passenger", "Invasive Procedures"; DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
- Mistakenly referred to as an alpha wave inducer in "The Passenger", but alpha waves are associated with wakefulness
Exoscalpel
- High-precision version of a laser scalpel for more precise surgeries (TNG: "Ethics"; VOY: "Message in a Bottle"; DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
Fiber-enhancer
- Known by 22nd century (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru)
- Presumably used to improve nerve conductivity or functionality (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru)
Hypospray
- Non-invasive injection device delivering medicine via a burst of compressed air (Various)
- In use by 22nd century (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")
Laser scalpel
- Standard laser-based low-precision medical cutting tool (TNG: "The Host"; DS9: "Invasive Procedures", "The Alternate"; VOY: "Dark Frontier", "Imperfection"; TNG Novel: Vendetta)
- Exoscalpel used instead for high precision tools
Medkit
- Kit of commonly needed medical resources for usage in the field (Various)
- Standard collection of hypospray cartridges (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics
- Broad-spectrum antivirals
- Cardiopulmonary stimulant
- Steroid combinations
- Viral inhibitor
Microscalpel
- Known by 22nd century (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru)
- Presumably hand-wielded cutting implement used for microsurgery (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru)
Muscle regenerator
- Used to repair minor damage to muscle tissue, such as sprains (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
- Presumably by accelerating natural healing
Perscan
- Medical scanning system developed by Starfleet in the 2270s allowing Sickbay to instantly retrieve the biosigns of any crewmember on demand (TOS Novel: Ex Machina)
- Passive units within uniform belt in that era of Starfleet uniforms (TOS Novel: Ex Machina)
- Central device within Sickbay connects with perscan unit on command of authorized medical officer to retrieve immediate bioscan results (TOS Novel: Ex Machina)
Synthetic skin
- Aerosolized organic compound in use by mid-23rd century (DIS Novel: Desperate Hours)
- When applied to burns or other injuries in which the dermis has been exposed in a limited region, solidifies into an artificial epidermis which accelerates natural healing and protects against infection
