Medical Hypospray (Sickbay handheld — Beverly Crusher)

A handheld medical hypospray primarily used by Dr. Beverly Crusher in Sickbay aboard the USS Enterprise-D. This device is capable of delivering various transdermal medications, including inoprovaline (40 cc in Alkar's quarters, unsuccessful revival attempt on Sev Maylor), cordrazine (10 cc in Sickbay, successful administration to Deanna Troi), and other stimulants or sedatives as needed. The hypospray features an atomizing nozzle and is used in high-stakes medical emergencies, particularly those involving empathic overloads and psychic predation. It is a critical tool in Beverly's medical arsenal, appearing in multiple episodes where it plays a pivotal role in life-or-death scenarios. The device is also referenced in Nurse Ogawa's preparations under Beverly's orders, where it is filled with cordrazine alongside a cortical stimulator.
