Medical Objects

You'll generally find these objects in medbay, used by the medical staff. Some of them aren't, however!

Medkits

In complete inverse of the example shown by toolboxes, medical kits are entirely harmless as blunt instruments. Don't even bother.

Item	Image	Contents	Description
Medkit	File:MedkitStandard.png File:MedkitStandard2.png	2x Healing Patches, 2x Burn Patches, 1x Epinephrine Injector, 1x Painkiller pill, Health Analyzer	Basic all-purpose cure pack. Something for the burns, something for the cuts, shock relief and some aspirin.
Fire Medkit	File:MedkitFire.png	4x Burn Patches, 1x Epinephrine Injector, 1x Painkiller pill, Health Analyzer	Like above, but switches out the styptic patches for even more silver sulfadiazine.
Brute Medkit	File:MedkitBrute.png	4x Healing Patches, 1x Epinephrine Injector, 1x Bandage, Health Analyzer	Like above, but comes with a bandage and only contains healing instead of burn patches.
Toxin Medkit	File:MedkitToxin.png	3x Charcoal Syringes, 3x Charcoal Pills, Health Analyzer	Contains nothing but active charcoal to cure TOX damage from poisons, exposure to plasma and other biohazards.
Oxygen Medkit	File:MedkitOxygen.png	4x Salbutamol Pills, Health Analyzer	Found mainly in O2 emergency cabinets. These pills dilate the air ways to heal OXY damage of people knocked out by a depressurization event, victims of strangulation or certain poisons. They are also useful to counter the suffocation that ramps up when somebody is in critical condition.
Neurological Medkit	File:MedkitBrain.png	4x Mannitol Pills, Health Analyzer	Specific to the genetics department, the mannitol pills are meant to relieve clone cranial swelling syndrome, but will help against any kind of brain damage.

Drug Application

Item	Image	Description
Patch		Found in most medkits. Empty patches, available in medbay or from the medical manufacturer, can be injected with any mix of medicine or dangerous toxins. Patches (regardless of type) can also reduce bleeding. Since this isn't guaranteed to work, bandages and sutures are still the preferred remedy.
Hypospray		Injects chemicals instantly. Holds up to 30 units and can be adjusted to dispense varying amounts of its contents. More can be made with a medical fabricator if required, but hyposprays will always reject harmful chemicals unless emagged.
Emergency Auto-Injector		Disposable hypospray found in medkits and the Port-A-NanoMed. Typically contains 10 units of epinephrine or another medical chem.
Syringe		The syringe can be set to inject or draw and moves 5 units of chemicals at a time. Drawing from a person will take a blood sample. Neither are instant, unless the recipient is yourself. Total capacity is 15 units.
Dropper		Holds up to 5 units of chemicals, and drops all of it at once onto its target. Dropping takes about half as much time as injecting with a syringe.
Mechanical Dropper		A precision laboratory tool available in chemistry. Allows you to transfer reagents (up to 10 units) in increments of 0.1 units.
Beaker		Holds up to 50 units of chemicals. Standard equipment for chemistry, but medbay has some as well. You generally can't examine the exact contents without spectroscopic goggles, a reagent scanner or by using certain machinery.
Medicine Bottle	File:Bott3.png	Essentially a smaller version of the beaker with a reduced capacity of 30 units. They usually come pre-loaded with medicine and are stored in the medbay lockers and vending machine.
Pill		Pills are meant to be taken orally, but can also be dissolved in a beaker for smaller doses. This can be useful, as they hold large amounts of chemicals - 50 units in most cases and up to 100 if a scientist has gotten their hands on a large enough container. It's often not desirable or practical to administer a whole pill of calomel, for example.
Bruise Pack		Outdated, but forgotten stashes still float around in deep space. Heals brute damage. You must target the damaged part of the player's body.
Ointment		As above, but for burns.
Bandage		Reduces the amount of bleeding. Repeated application might be necessary to bandage a wound completely.
Suture		Suture (or stitches) hold body tissues together more efficiently and only require one use to stop bleeding. Available from robotics and medical fabricators.
Blood Bag		Transfusions may be necessary in case of severe blood loss. Use the bag on a patient to start transferring blood. They are available in medbay's blood supply refrigerator, and you can also partially refill empty bags by drawing blood from somebody with a syringe and then injecting it. They hold 100 units by default.

Pathology Equipment

Item	Image	Description
Blood Slide		Draw blood from a person, then inject it into the slide. The first step in researching diseases. Blood slides are disposable and can't be cleaned.
Petri Dish		Used to cultivate pathogens. Maximum capacity is 40 units of nutrients.
Vial		Holds small (5 units) pathogen samples.

Tools

The majority of these items can be found in various places across medbay itself or the medicine closets. Essential tools (such as scalpels, saws and staplers for surgery) are also available from the medical or robotics fabricator.

Item	Image	Description
Health Analyzer		Scan humans or monkeys to get a report of their health, damage taken, any viruses and other ailments. Regular analyzers can be upgraded with a reagent scanner, which can be toggled on/off and only works on mobs. The medical PDA provides the same functionality with two separate programs, though its reagent scanner is more flexible and doesn't have the same restrictions. A separate hand-held device also exists.
ProDoc Health Goggles		These goggles allow you to assess the health of everyone in sight. Useful to identify and prioritize severely injured patients at a glance.
Medical Belt		Basically a medkit that you wear around your waist, this belt can hold all kinds of medical drugs and a variety of medical tools, such as syringes and hyposprays. In addition, many tiny and small items (tools, ammo etc) are compatible.
Medical Headset		Stay in touch and coordinate with your colleagues. Type say :h (resp. :m if you are the MD) to access the medical channel.
Defibrillator		The defibrillator is one option to treat cardiac arrest. Two are located in medbay: one in the MD's office and another in the surgery room. More can be acquired with the help of electronics.
Scalpel		Part of the surgery procedure. Depending on the body part you are aiming at, it will remove implants, bullets, limbs, butts or brains.
Circular Saw		Another essential tool for surgery.
Staple Gun		Used to reattach limbs. For more information, please refer to Doctoring.
Port-A-NanoMed Remote		Use it once to summon the Port-A-NanoMed. Grab the supplies you need, then use it again to send it back to medbay.
Anesthetic Supplies		Found in the anesthetic locker in medbay, these tanks contain N2O. In theory, they are intended to be strapped to patients before an operation to ease the pain. In practice, they are hardly ever used by anybody, because surgery is so fast that there is usually no point in going through the routine of taking out the tank and mask, putting them on the patient, turning said patient's internals on and waiting for them to fall asleep. If you have the time to do that as a traitor, chances are your victim was already unconscious in the first place.
DNA Injector		Geneticists will occasionally use these as part of their research to inject people with superpowers or (more likely) horrible disabilities.

Miscellaneous

Item	Image	Description
Prescription Glasses		Simple pair of glasses to correct nearsightedness. Rarely requested by patients, but may come in handy after a radiation storm or cloning accident.
VISOR		If someone has been permanently blinded, the VISOR is an option to restore their eyesight in a somewhat grainy fashion. Obviously inspired by the namesake on Star Trek TNG.
Auditory Headset		A sophisticated hearing aid that also functions like a regular headset. It can be a good idea to manufacture a copy in advance, since deafness is a surprisingly common condition.
Surgical Mask		Only provides a minor degree of resistance against airborne diseases, so you may want to combine this with other protective clothing. Does not link to internals.
Paramedic Suit		An insulated suit which offers moderate thermal and biological protection. It may be helpful to reach patients trapped in bombed-out parts of the station.
Biosuit		Provides even better protection against diseases and viral hazards.
Straight Jacket		Handcuffs on steroids. Aside from the usual restrictions, e.g. the inability to use the hands or open doors, there are two key differences. Not only will the wearer be slowed down to walking speed, they also cannot escape (remove) the straight jacket on their own. For these reasons, it should generally be reserved for emergencies, if the alternative to confinement would be physical harm. Or devious purposes of course. Jackets are available in medbay and the armory.
Muzzle		When applied to someone, they cannot properly speak, as anything said by them will come out as muffled grunts. Useful for people who wont shut up. Stored in medbay and the armory.
Blindfold		Does exactly what you'd expect.

Machinery

Item	Image	Description
Sleeper		These are essentially safe storage units for living people - anyone inside will be shielded from most outside dangers and provided with a stable oxygen supply. The console (if any) will show you a summary of the occupant's health or optionally allow the injection of saline to speed up paralysis recovery and keep them alive while you are preparing damage-specific medicine.
Cryo Chamber		The cryo chamber heals critically injured patients fairly reliably, provided the temperature of the gas circulating in the system is well below 150 K and the unit is loaded with a beaker of cryoxadone, two of which medbay starts with. Remember to remove the patient's exosuit (space suit, lab coats, armour, etc.) and headgear (hat, mask) beforehand, as they will likely interfere with the cooling process! For more info, refer to Using the Cryo Chambers.
Freezer		Cools incoming gas from a connected O2 canister. The temperature can be adjusted and doctors want to set it as low as possible.
Medical Dispenser		The dispenser works like a normal vending machine and is accessible by anyone with medbay clearance. Offers a wide selection of basic medicine and other supplies.
Port-A-NanoMed		A special vending machine with a built-in teleporter. Compared to the stationary model, the Port-A-NanoMed is geared towards emergency, on-the-spot medicine.
PathoMatic		Vials, growth media and other supplies needed for pathology research are available here.
Genetic Scanner	File:Genescan-on.gif	Found in genetics. Used to conduct genetics research on test subjects - see Guide to Genetics for further information.
Cloning Scanner	File:Genescan-off.gif	The cloning scanner cannot scan husks, people who have logged out or bodies that have decayed. An upgrade module to remove these restrictions can be acquired somewhere in space.
Cloning Pod		This small, computer-controlled pod is used to grow living clones of dead people. A steady supply of biomass is required for this process. Click on it to check the current cloning cycle and biomass fill level.
Enzymatic Reclaimer		This is where the biomass comes from. Accepts corpses (human/monkey) or slabs of meat, but not living creatures unless emagged.
Morgue Unit		Used to store corpses for autopsies. Extend the tray, wrestle a stiff on it and slide it back in. The body won't rot so long as it's inside.
Operating Table		A table used to perform surgery on dead or living subjects. There are several in medbay and one in the medical booth - see Roboticist or Doctoring for more information.
Surgery Computer		Located in robotics. Provides medical information on whoever is laying on the adjacent operating table.
Module Rewriter		Also in robotics. Used to flash new data onto cyborg modules, but requires a human operator.
Medical Computer		This ThinkDOS-based workstation runs MedTrak and provides access to all medical records as well as the virus database
Centrifuge and Autoclave		Isolates pathogen samples from a blood slide. The autoclave can be used to clean Petri dishes, which are required for the centrifuge as a receptacle.
