Medical device
used to seal small wounds or burns and restore the original skin structure.
Dermal regenerators are standard equipment of Starfleet and other civilizations
in the 24th century.
The hand-held
dermal regenerator is supposed to support and accelerate the natural healing
process of the skin tissue. Yet, there might be an improved regenerator
installed in sickbay that is capable of more than just emitting "healing
rays" and possibly equipped with a microreplicator, so larger injuries
can also be treated without leaving scars. Obviously the Doctor refers
to such a device when he tells Janeway that without a dermal regenerator
there will be scars left on her face and arms in VOY: "The Year of Hell
II", for it is quite improbable that all the small hand-held devices are
out of order.
The
Hypospray
Medical device
that allows subcutaneous or intravenous injections without syringe. The
hypospray evoporates the medicament and ejects it under high pressure so
as to penetrate the epidermis without damage.
Medical
tricorder
Tricorder
model which is equipped with an additional scanner for closer examination
of patients.
Cortical
Stimulator
Medical device
that stimulates brain activity in case of severe injuries.
Cardio Stimulator
Medical device
to support heart activity.
Laser
(Scalpel)
Acronym for
Light
Amplification
by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In a laser, the
oscillator (a gaseous, fluid or solid matter) is embedded in a resonator,
usually consisting of two mirrors. Continuous energy supply leads to an
occupation inversion of energy levels within the oscillator, meaning that
more electrons are in an excited (higher energy) state than in the normal
state. A large amount of narrow-band light is produced, corresponding to
electrons falling back to their normal states. A small part of the generated
photons generates new excited electrons, while the major part is emitted
through one of the mirrors which is semi-transparent. Laser weapons have
been replaced by the more powerful phasers in the 23rd century, however,
lasers are still in use as cutting and welding tools.
The Biobed
Hospital bed
that includes medical sensors and display units for diagnosis and gas and
fluid connect points for treatment of patients. The primary biobed, typically
located in the center of a starship sickbay, is equipped with an additional
overhead sensor cluster and a containment field generator and serves for
surgical and other intensive-care procedures.
