Bacta patch

A bacta patch, also called a bacta bandage, was a disposable patch of bacta used to heal skin punctures^[1] or damages in other parts of the body. Though not as effective as a full immersion in a bacta tank, bacta patches were much easier to transport and sufficed as a quick and convenient medical healer. They were useful when trying to keep a patient with more serious injuries stable until they could reach a bacta tank, but if there were no bacta tanks, then they were to have rested for a couple of days.^[2]

Bacta patches were small, and promoted the healing of damaged tissue. They were commonly found in medpacs.^[3]
