Medical technology

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
