MEDKITS
Medical personnel on Away missions or other assignments away from sickbay facilities are frequently issued any of a variety of medikits. These portable equipment packages typically include a medical tricorder, field hypospray, respirator, defib module, sample kit and a selection of sterile bandages and drugs for field use. Plasticene splints and skin graft replacements also round out the kits. Standard drugs include water purification tablets, trioxide respiratory stimulant, dimedalyne pain suppressant, elsendatrine stimulant and anti-radiation tablets.
In the field, the tricorder can access an updatable file of known medical conditions for most humanoid types and many of DNA based non-humanoids. When operating onboard ship, the tricorder can draw upon the entire medical database of the USS Galaxy. HYPOSPRAY
Subcutaneous and intravenous administration of many types of medication is accomplished with the hypospray. This device employs ultasonic waves plus a pinpoint high-pressure low volume microscopic aero- suspension stream, which permits low-viscosity medication to be administered through the epidermis without mechanical penetration. Certain types of medications can be formulated for a somewhat wider spray pattern, resulting in lesser penetration into the epidermis, but yielding a higher rate of absorption due to the greater skin area exposed to the drug. Upto 200 cc's of chemical agent can be inserted into the bloodstream in less then 2.5 seconds. Standard hyposprays are designed to accept a standard medication vial, which can be changed as required. Field hyposprays are normally loaded with an inert saline solution that serves as a vehicle fluid for any of five user-selectable concentrated emergency medication ampules. NEURAL STIMULATOR
