A Mandalorian warrior administers a stim-shot.
A stim-shot, also known as a stimshot, was a stimulant administered with a pneumatic dispenser. They were often carried by field medics.
Stim-shots, along with adrenaline boosters, were used to keep a patient alert and stop them from going into shock. They were commonly found in medpacs. Stim-shots could also be released directly into a bacta tank, or injected into the patient using retractable hyposprays.[1]
