Sonic scalpels were used by surgeons to cut away dead flesh.
Description
Sonic scalpels were medical tools intended and could be used during emergency field surgery.[1] The device was used to cut away dead tissue, a necessary procedure for some wounds to prevent developing a necrotic infection.[2] Sonic scalpels were included in medpacs, including Biotech Industries' FastFlesh medpac.[1]
