MEDICAL EQUIPMENT Alpha Wave Inducer The Alpha Wave Inducer
is a device meant to induce sleep in most humanoids. It is not meant to replace natural
sleep, and cannot be used frequently. It is an electronic version of an anesthetic.
Subject enters a deep dreamless sleep during which surgical procedures can be carried out
without causing pain to the subject. Anabolic Protoplasers These devices are used
to heal internal and external body damage without the need of opening the body cavity of
the patient to effect repairs. They use small forcefields, phase-modulated lasers, and
anabolic accelerators to quickly heal injuries without scarring. They come in a variety of
sizes for different repairs. Smaller units are useful
for fine work involving the eyes and ears, while larger units heal cuts and even broken
bones. They temporarily confer
the advantage of Instant Regeneration to the area treated, but cannot replace surgery in
serious injuries. For example, if used on a very deep stab wound, they could seal the
damaged tissues and prevent further blood loss, but a subcutaneous hole would remain
unless closed with surgery. This device will not
repair incidental damage resulting from the original injury. For example, an officer who
has been stabbed may have the wound repaired in sickbay in 15 minutes, but will still have
to deal with the blood loss. Autosuture An Autosuture is used to
close wounds in patients. It has the same function as 20th-century sutures. It is similar
to the Anabolic Protoplaser. Bandages Starfleet's Medical
department has a wide variety of bandage options. Simple bandages made of sterile, inert
materials that do not bind with clotting wounds are common. Dermapatch is available in a
spray applicator, or in larger pre-formed pieces. Battlefield Trauma
Kit Small packet of medical
supplies used to dress wounds in the field. Biobed This is an
orthopedically-designed hospital bed which has an array of biofunction sensors that
monitor all bodily systems. The bed is raised to allow the doctor to comfortably examine
the patient. It has a graphic display at the head which gives the patient's current
status. Restraining fields are available on some models. Bioimplant Artificial organic
material that can be surgically implanted into a person's body to replace damaged tissue. Bioregenerative Field A Bioregenerative Field
is an energy field used to accelerate cellular growth. It temporarily confers the
advantage of Regeneration on the patient. A sterilite unit is typically used during this
procedure to keep infection from being multiplied by the Bioregenerative Field. Blood-gas Infuser Medical instrument used
to stabilize oxygen levels of a patient in respiratory distress. Cardiostimulators This is a defibrillator
that can also restart a stopped heart. Unlike current defibrillators, this device will not
damage surface tissues. Cellular microsutures Used to stitch internal
organs. Cortical Stimulator The Cortical Stimulator
provides a method of resuscitation for patients. It is particularly effective for head
injuries and comatose patients. It is an electronic version of Tricordrazine. Delta wave inducer Medical instrument used
to induce sleep. Dermal Regenerator Starfleet medical
instrument used to repair damaged epidermal tissue. Detronal Scanner Medical instrument used
to read and encode the DNA patterns of living tissue. DNA resequencing A procedure in which a
subject is genetically engineered for specific traits. It is illegal except to correct
severe birth defects. Drechtal Beam Surgical device used to
sever neural connections. Electron Resonance
Scanner Medical imaging device. Exoscalpel An electronic relative
of a 20th-century scalpel. It is escentially an electronic knife. Genetronic 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. It temporarily confers the advantage of Instant
Regeneration on patients. Hypospray The Hypospray is a
hand-held device used for subcutaneous and intravenous administration of
carefully-controlled dosages of medication on a subject. It takes one second to
remove and one to replace a medicine vial. The air cartridge is good for 100 injections.
It takes one second to remove and one second to replace the air cartridge. Weight is 1/2
lb. Isomolecular Scanner Advanced medical
diagnostic device. Isotropic Restraint Medical force field used
to hold a patient totally immobile. Medical Tricorders The Medical Tricorder is
a modified TR-580 with an extra external medical probe and scanner attachment. It has the
following capabilities: Biosampler For its size, the
Medical Tricorder can maintain and store vast amounts of data in its own memory, which it
uses to help evaluate conditions on site. The Medical Tricorder
has an external hand-held sensing device. This peripheral contains
over 100 sensors, and the Tricorder contains a specialized medical database that provides
detailed medical diagnostic tools in the field including tomographic 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 detailed diagnosis on known species. On unknown
species, it is limited to telling if the life-form is sick or dying. A detailed analysis
is not possible in such a situation. Effective range is about three yards. 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. Nanosurgeons A suspension of
nanotechnological assemblies that are typically used to survey cellular genetic damage and
effect repairs. They report to, and are
monitored by, the attending physician. Nanosurgeons are useful to repair additional damage
that drugs (for example) cannot affect. Neural Calipers Medical instrument used
in surgical procedures. Neuralstimulator This device
"jumpstarts" the Central Nervous System of patients who has suffered some form
of neuro-synaptic failure. This is particularly useful to treat a patient who has suffered
CNS shock from the higher settings of a Phaser. Neural Stimulators An instrument used to
stimulate the Central Nervous System of a patient. They are frequently used to help in
attempts to revive unconscious and/or comatose patients. Neural Transducer Medical devices that
provide 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 Allows a healthy
"donor" to take over autonomic functions for a patient suffering from brain stem
damage. One link is attached to the head of the "donor" and the other on the
head of the patient. Upon activation, the autonomic functions of the donor control the
patient's heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, etc. Osteotractors These are medical
tractor fields used to set and immobilize a broken bone prior to treatment with a
Protoplaser. They act as a temporary cast during treatment. Physician's Medikit The
Physician's Medikit is a small, strap-on case designed to carry emergency medical
supplies.
and the following
medications: All doses of any drug
type are contained in vials that must be inserted into the Hypospray. The standard kit may
be altered to suit missions or situations, but must be altered before the mission begins.
For example, if the doctor knows that he is going into a combat zone, he may replace the 3
vials of Panamyacin with more Hyronalyn or Analgine. Physiostimulators 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. Protodynoplaser A device used to help in
patient condition stabilization. Psychotricorder 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 info on the
Medical Tricorder and/or Tricorder for any further info. Pulmonary Support
Unit Emergency
cardiopulmonary support unit in use aboard Federation starships. Scalpels There are three
varieties 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. Laser scalpels help the
surgeon because of bloodlessness, but can dazzle anyone unwary enough to look into the
beam, even though the scalpel can only cut within its focal length. Monomolecular blades
require no power supply and quickly slice through most matter with minimal effort. Finally, Nanotech
scalpels cause minimal disruption of tissue but operate slowly. There is current
research in an experimental scalpel that utilizes Transporter technology. Sickbay Overhead
Sensor Cluster This is a circular
arrangement of sensors located above the primary Bio-Bed in sickbay. It augments the
sensors of the Bio-Bed, and also provides an emergency containment field to prevent
contamination. Somnetic Inducer A device used to induce
sleep. Otherwise similar to the Alpha Wave Induction unit above. Sonic Separator A device used to
separate tissues into very fine bundles. It is primarily used in brain operations, but is
also useful in other areas of the body which have very small or very delicate parts. Stasis Field
Generator This device is used in
emergencies when a patient cannot be stabilized and requires treatment that is not
immediately available. It significantly slows all biological activity within the perimeter
of the field, placing the patient in a sort of suspended animation. The patient will not
be aware of any passage of time while under the influence of a stasis unit, since the
biochemical activity of the patient's brain is effectively halted. Styrolite Clear plastic like
material used for biologic quarantine of potentially hazardous life forms. Surgical Support
Frame Surgical Support Frames
attach to Bio-Beds providing aid and assistance during surgery and emergency life support.
Littered with biosensors, the SSF has a large display of the surgical area. Tissue Mitigator Medical instrument used
in surgical procedures |
