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.{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}} | MediGel is similar to UNSC [[biofoam]].

=== First aid stations === | ====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.{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}} | [[First aid station]]s are fixed terminals with two sockets for health packs.

== | ==History== | ||
===Postwar=== | |||
Soon after the [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, Optican entered into a partnership with [[Misriah Armory]] to help create the [[EV-44 Nightingale]].{{Ref/Reuse|hippo}} | |||
In [[2556]], Optican was under "Active Investigation" by [[ONI]] after the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|Sedra terrorist attack]].<ref name="Halo Nightfall">'''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Walk the Path|ONI: Walk the Path]]'''</ref> | |||
Four years later in [[2560]], a deal was struck between CEO Adam Andrews and [[Kig-Yar]] merchant [[Nor Fel]] on the glassed world of [[Arcadia]]. Optican would receive several cases of [[Rumbledrug]]s while the merchant would receive the focus cannon of a downed {{Pattern|R'awuw|Scarab}}.{{Ref/Reuse|hippo}} | |||
== Trivia == | ==Trivia== | ||
*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.
