Medi-gel

Medi-gel is an emergency field dressing developed by the Sirta Foundation in Mass Effect. It is designed to close wounds, prevent infections, replace fluids, and stabilize a patient until they can receive more thorough medical attention.

Military grade medi-gel may also contain stimulants to keep the patient combat capable. Medi-gel dispensers are commonly incorporated into body armor.

Sirta produces many medi-gel formulas optimized for the major interstellar races. Medi-gel for humans, for example, is completely useless for turians.
