Thrombic modulator

Thrombic modulator

A thrombic modulator

A thrombic modulator was a cone-shaped medical instrument used by Starfleet medical personnel as early as 2374. This device was used to change the coagulation ratio of blood within the body, most likely to prevent thrombosis.

In 2374, the EMH Mark II asked The Doctor to hand to him a thrombic modulator while treating a Romulan that had taken over command of the USS Prometheus. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")

The Doctor's inability to recognize this device suggests it to be a relatively new instrument that was developed after 2371.
