MediGel is similar to UNSC [[biofoam]].

They both have healing properties and are used in cases where [[Hospital Corpsman|medics]] are not available. But, unlike biofoam, MediGel does not pack or put pressure on the wound. Also, being a civilian product, it is likely that MediGel does not cause the initial pain that biofoam does. Biofoam is applied in a manner similar to whipped cream, whilst Medigel is rubbed onto a wound, bruise or burn. | ||
=== | === Health Packs === | ||
Optican | 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. These stations were plentiful 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> | |||

*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.
