Whip this out and use it on someone to see a summary of their condition. As a medical professional, your PDA also has a built in Health Analyzer, just make sure to activate it before use. The results are broken up into sections:
- Overall health percentage
- Damage of each basic type
- Blood Type and level
- Medical ID
- Brain damage
- Brain Traumas
- Organ damage
- Body Temperature
- Infection and cure (only appears if there is one and it isn't stealthy)
- Wounds

- A health scan which is described above.
- A wound scanner which checks for special wounds and tells you how to treat them.

- Strategy: See below
A tank filled with Nitrous Oxide for keeping the patient unconscious during surgery to prevent them from escaping feeling pain.
How to set internals:
- To set internals and make your patient sleep you need to first remove any item from their back. Once done you need to put a breath mask on them and then put the anesthetic tank onto their back. Once it is on their back you can put them on internals by clicking "set internals" on the same menu you used to put the tank on their back. Once done your patient should fall asleep. Remember to use a proper anesthetic mixture, as pure N2O will suffocate the patient.
Amputation Shears
- Found in: Premium vendor item
- Used for: Amputation
- Strategy: See below
A type of heavy duty surgical shears used for achieving a clean separation between limb and patient. Keeping the patient still is imperative to be able to secure and align the shears. It dismembers a limb (or tail) after a delay (15 seconds by default).
- If the patient is incapacitated, critted, dead, unconscious, paralyzed, staminacritted, etc. the time required to amputate something is cut in half.
- If the patient is jittery the time required to amputate something is multiplied by 1.5.

A tool used when performing the filter blood surgery.
Medical Gear
Clothes and other equipment made especially for the doctors.
Medical Kits
These are stocked in medbay and some other locations on-station. Remember that you can always order more from cargo if you run out. Roboticists can use these to make medibots once they're empty, and these make your job a lot easier, so don't be shy about taking them over to their desk when you have a moment. Back when Telescience was a thing, scientists sometimes stole these up while cackling madly. It was probably nothing to worry about. To use a medical kit, both hands must be free. Pick up the medical kit and select the empty hand. Now click on your kit and it should open like a backpack, with the supplies inside, which you can remove, place into your free hand and use.

Sleepers contain an unlimited supply of five different chemicals, which can be expanded with further upgrades. As of writing they cannot be built and are not found on the station, since they have been replaced with Lifeform Stasis Units.
- Found in: Medbay
- Used for: Healing critical (or not critical) patients and genetic damage
- Strategy: Set the cryo up and put people in. Eject them after they've healed up
These high-tech devices can bring crew members back from the brink of death. The station starts with two, but they have to be set up first. The aircan that spawns at cryo starts with oxygen/n2o to make sure that the patient is sleeping for cryoxadone to take efffect. It automatically stabilizes people in critical condition, and will safely lower a patient's body temperature to levels at which Cryoxadone, usually mixed with Mannitol, is effective. Cryoxadone heals all damage types while Mannitol heals the brain.
You can quickly operate the Cryogenics Tube without opening the menu with a few shortcuts. ALT + left click will toggle the doors, and CTRL + left click will toggle the power.
