Equipment of the Star Trek Universe
The following pages contain most of the information needed to complete the
Maquis Academy College of Medicine
Medical Equipment examination.
I hope you find this information both educational and enjoyable.

Medical Equipment
A - M
| Name | Description |
| Alpha-Wave Inducer | Device used to enhance sleep in humanoids, but only meant for occasional use. |
| Autosuture | A medical instrument used for wound closures. |
| Biofilter, (transporter) | A subsystem of the transporter designed to scan an incoming transporter beam prior to materialization, and remove potentially harmful disease and virus contamination. The biofilter could be programmed against a wide range of disease organisms, but was only effective against organisms so programmed. |
| Bio-Regenerative Field | Radiated energy used in biomedical applications to accelerate cellular growth. |
| Cortical Stimulator | A Resuscitative device. |
| Decompression Chamber | A Medical treatment facility aboard Federation starships for patients requiring treatment for exposure to atmospheric pressures other than Class-M normal. |
| Detronal Scanner | Medical instrument used to read and encode the DNA patterns of living tissue. |
| Drechtal Beams | Surgical device used to sever neural connections. |
| Dynoscanner | Sensor device used to detect low level molecular activity. |
| Exoscalpel | A Surgical instrument used by Starfleet medical personnel to incise the skin and expose underlying tissue. |
| Genetronic Replicator | Experimental medical device, developed by neurogeneticist Dr. Toby Russell, designed to translate the genetic code into a specific set of replication instructions, allowing the device to grow a replacement organ. Starfleet Medical turned down three requests by Russell to test the device on humanoid patients, prior to her successful implementation of the technique on Starfleet officer Lieutenant Worf in 2368. |
| Hypospray | Medical instrument used by Starfleet medical personnel for subcutaneous and intramuscular administration of medication for many humanoid patients. The hypospray uses an extremely fine, high-pressure aero-suspension delivery system, eliminating the need for a needle to physically penetrate the skin. |
| Microcircuit Fibers | Part of the Borg devices implanted into a assimilated victim's body. Infiltration of the fibers into the victims healthy tissue around the Borg implants caused changes in the cellular DNA around the implants and made surgical removal impossible while the implants are active. |
| Motor Assist Bands | Four-centimeter wide strap-like devices used with neurologically damaged patients. The bands provide electrical stimulation to the patient's limbs and help with muscle retraining. |
| Neural Calipers | Medical instrument used in surgical procedures. |
| Neural Implants | The bioelectrical interface between the visual cortex and a VISOR. The devices were implanted bilaterally in the temporal regions of the patient’s skull, and fed into the visual cortex. The external portion of the implant allowed for direct connection of the VISOR to the patients head. |
| Neural Neutralizer | A device invented by Dr. Simon Van Gelder in 2266 to aid rehabilitation of criminals. The neutralizer was intended to selectively remove thoughts relating to criminal acts, but was later found to have potentially lethal effects. |
| Neural Stimulator | Medical instrument used to increase neural activity in the central nervous system of a humanoid brain. |
| Neural Transducers | Implantable bioelectric devices that received nerve impulses from the brain and transmitted it to affected voluntary muscle groups. These instruments were used in cases of severe spinal cord damage to give the patient some control over the affected extremities. |
| Neurolink | Emergency medical technique used for the stabilization of patients with brain stem injuries. Matching neural pads were used. One would be placed on a healthy individual and a matching unit on the patient. These devices enabled a link to be established from the healthy person's autonomic nervous system to that of the injured patient. |
| Parthenogenic Implant | An artificial device, surgically implanted into a human body. |
| Physiostimulator | Medical instrument used to elevate metabolic functions in an impaired individual. |
| Plasma Infusion Unit | Medical equipment used aboard Federation medical facilities to dispense fluid and electrolytes. |
| Protodynoplaser | Medical instrument used to stabilize immune systems. |
| Psychotricorder | Instrument used to record past memories. |
| Pulmonary Support Unit | Emergency cardiopulmonary support unit in use aboard Federation medical facilities. |
| Quarantine Seal | Also called a medical quarantine field. Force field used to isolate potentially hazardous biological specimens in sickbay and other laboratory facilities aboard facilities. |
| Stasis Unit | Emergency medical device used aboard Federation facilities. The device could hold a patient in a state of suspended animation until medical treatment could be rendered. |
| Styrolite | Clear plastic like material used for biologic quarantine of potentially hazardous life forms. |
