- "Need immediate medical assistance? Choose Optican! Quick Diagnosis, or your money back."
- — the Superintendent.
Optican is a company that produces health supplies. The products of the company were prominent in New Mombasa, as well as the whole of Africa during 2552.[1] According to an ad of theirs, they had more outlets than any other healthcare provider.
Products
Optican produces a variety of medical equipment, including test instruments such as eye charts.[2]
MediGel
Medigel is a healing agent produced by Optican. It is advanced enough to heal varying kinds of wounds, from blunt trauma to plasma burns.[3] Every pack of MediGel has a five steps on how to apply the gel:
- Clean area around the wound before applying gel.
- Dispense gel by pressing button below.
- Rub gel into wounded area for thirty seconds.
- Gel will heal most wounds within five minutes of application.
- If wound is not healed within specified time seek medical help.
MediGel is both similar and different to BioFoam. They both have healing properties and are used in cases were medics are not available. But, unlike BioFoam, MediGel does not pack or put pressure on the wound. Also, being a civillian product, it is likely that MediGel does not cause the 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 Health Packs are portable MediGel containers, and can be used to replenish the health of the user in an emergency situation.
First Aid Stations
First Aid Stations 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 the user's money back.
Statenizol
Statenizol is a recently developed, mood-settling drug produced by Optican.[4]
Trivia
- Optican was first featured in the I Love Bees alternate reality game, and later in Halo 3: ODST.
- 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 medic look for one of the many Optican™ MediGel™ First Aid stations around the city.
