Hypospray

Hypospray Concept for Star Trek: Picard

A hypospray (or hypo) is a small hand-held piece of technology used to inject medicine or other drugs and treatments into a patient.

History

By the 2260s the standard Starfleet hypospray was designed to accept a swappable vial of medicine. Field hyposprays were pre-loaded with an inert saline solution that could carry any of five selected concentrated emergency medication. (TNG reference: Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual)

In the early 23rd century the standard Starfleet hypospray held one ampule which held ten doses of a single drug. By the 24th century this capacity was increased to five ampules each holding ten doses. (Decipher RPG module: Player's Guide)

In 2259 of the Kelvin timeline, Spock injected the Gorn commander with a hypospray full of the antidote to the Gorn virus, resulting in his death just as he, Kirk and T'Mar beamed away from the Gorn mothership. (TOS video game: Star Trek)

In 2270, Montgomery Scott rigged a hypospray to explode on impact and emit anesthesia gas. James T. Kirk threw it at a tribe of Xhosa who were trying to kill his otherwise unarmed landing party on Vehtora IV. Unfortunately the tribesmen appeared to be immune to the gas. (TOS - Star Trek Unlimited comic: "As Flies to Wanton Boys")

Hypospray Agents

Agent	Duration	Effect
STIMULANTS
ADTH		A substance which may be pumped through the life support systems of a starship as a fast-acting stimulant. Lieutenant Commander Data used ADTH in the airflow at 5 parts per million to revive the remaining crew from the stun effect of the Paxans' fake wormhole ("Clues" [TNG]).
Animazine	1-6 hours	Animazine was used in 2374 onboard the starship Voyager to prevent crew members from falling prey to the neurogenic field generated by the dream species, although, like any such medication, its effectiveness was limited. ("Waking Moments" [VOY])
Chloromydride	permanent	A cardio-stimulatory drug used where Inaprovaline was ineffective or may cause allergic reactions. It is usually used in concert with cardiac and neural stimulators for additional benefits ("Ethics" [TNG]).
Cordafin		Pharmaceutical Cadet Tim Watters abused cordafin in2 374 while serving as captain of the U.S.S. Valiant, possibly contributing to errors in judgment that led to the death of his crew and the destruction of the spacecraft. ("Valiant" [DS9])
Cordrazine	1-3 hours	Powerful stimulant which is used to revive patients quickly. Not recommended unless in an emergency situation. Dosage- 2-5ccs, lethal at 12ccs. - A powerful stimulant that will usually revive a stunned or unconscious patient completely. Cordrazine is "tricky stuff" - overdose can lead to delusional paranoia, and the drug is addictive.
Delactovine	1-6 hours	A common stimulant with few side effects. It is mildly addictive.
Formazine		A common stimulant that can cause irritability with prolonged use (more than three days). Otherwise, it has the same effects as Delactovine.
Hyperzine		- Cardiac stimulant. Dr. Julian Bashir ordered hyperzine when Garak suffered a cardiac arrest due to the stress related to the cranial implant in 2370. ("The Wire" [DS9])
