===Products | In [[2556]], an Optican facility located in [[Sedra City]] was under "Active Investigation" by [[ONI]] after the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|February 7 terrorist attack]].<ref name="Halo Nightfall">'''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Walk the Path|ONI: Walk the Path]]'''</ref> | ||

MediGel is similar to UNSC [[biofoam]]. They both have healing properties and are used in cases where [[Hospital Corpsman|medics]] are not available. However, unlike Biofoam, MediGel does not pack or put pressure on the wound. Biofoam is injected or sprayed into wounds, whilst Medigel is rubbed onto a wound, bruise, or burn. | MediGel is similar to UNSC [[biofoam]].

==== | === Health packs === | ||
Optican [[health pack]]s are portable MediGel containers, and can be used to replenish the health of the user in an emergency situation. | |||
=== First aid stations === | |||
[[First aid station]]s are fixed terminals with two sockets for health packs. There were many of these stations in the city of [[New Mombasa]] during 2552. They promise to give an accurate diagnosis, or refund the customer. UNSC military personnel were able to access the first aid stations without paying any sort of fee. This could be because the [[Superintendent]], New Mombasa's custodial AI, had unlocked all the stations so the soldiers could access them, or perhaps because the stations were designed to automatically dispense for free in case of a state of emergency. | |||
=== Statenizol === | |||
Statenizol is a recently developed, mood-settling drug produced by Optican.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref> | |||
=== Wheelchairs === | |||
Optican also produces wheelchairs, which are used at medical centers and hospitals such as the [[New Alexandria Hospital]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''</ref> | |||

== Trivia == | |||
*Optican was first featured in the [[I Love Bees]] alternate reality game, and later much, much more prominently in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. | |||
*According to the traits given to describe Optican MediGel, it appears as though it serves as an advanced version of the modern-day [[wikipedia:bactine|Bactine]]. An [http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/stories/college-student-invents-gel-that-halts-bleeding experimental gel] developed in 2013 also bears many similarities to MediGel, as it can halt bleeding almost instantly and promotes the healing of burns and open wounds. | *According to the traits given to describe Optican MediGel, it appears as though it serves as an advanced version of the modern-day [[wikipedia:bactine|Bactine]].

*According to an ad of theirs, Optican had more outlets in [[Africa]] on [[Earth]] than any other healthcare provider. This is likely a joke referring to the oddly large number of Optican first aid stations scattered throughout New Mombasa in ''Halo 3: ODST''. | *According to an ad of theirs, Optican had more outlets in [[Africa]] on [[Earth]] than any other healthcare provider.

*The following note was sent to the UNSC personnel stationed in [[Mombasa]] during the [[Battle of Mombasa]]: ''ATTENTION ALL UNSC PERSONNEL: Due to the ongoing evacuation efforts all health care personnel have been relocated to the [[Mombasa Quays]] area until which time they can be disembarked on outbound sea craft. In the unlikely event that you become separated from your unit or cannot contact a [[Hospital Corpsman|medic]] look for one of the many Optican™ MediGel™ First Aid stations around the city.'' | *The following note was sent to the UNSC personnel stationed in [[Mombasa]] during the [[Battle of Mombasa]]: ''ATTENTION ALL UNSC PERSONNEL: Due to the ongoing evacuation efforts all health care personnel have been relocated to the [[Mombasa Quays]] area until which time they can be disembarked on outbound sea craft.
