Bacta Tank

The Bacta Tank was a large, specialized tank that was filled with the powerful healing agent, bacta, which promotes rapid healing. A bacta tank and a supply of bacta was expensive, so such medical equipment was usually found only in hospitals, on board capital-class vessels, and within major military bases. A patient must be fully submerged within the bacta for the healing agent to do its job.

Luke Skywalker was put into a bacta tank during The Empire Strikes Back after being left to handle the freezing planet of Hoth.
