What this is about
Medpens are the simplest care in the field: one injector, one dose, done. Which kinds exist and what the game data says is inside them is here.q1 How you apply them comes from the controls.q3
The family
Almost every injector comes from CureLife; the Drema Injector is made by Roussimoff Rehabilitation Systems and is described as a sedative for another person.q2 Every pen is single use.q1

Numbers are game values; where the data names no unit, neither do we.
For most pens the agent is part of the name – “MedPen (Hemozal)” is the coagulant against bleeding.q2 The Xtra variants carry a mixture or a higher dose according to their description; what difference that makes in numbers is not in our data.
Equipment and supply
A pen takes up inventory space; the contents in the table is the value the game data states for the filling.q1 Carry several kinds: against bleeding, against being stunned, against overdose. What else belongs in your pack is in the medical operations checklist.
Using one on yourself
In the consumables radial menu you pick the pen and equip it; it is then used with the function the controls call “firearm – attack” (internally consume).q2q3 The game’s control hint for the medpen calls the action “heal (self)”.q2
Using one on others
There is a separate function for another person: medical pen – inject other, a short press.q3 According to the game text it does not work inside an armistice zone.q2
