The cortical stimulator was a medical device used to revive neural activity in the nervous system of critical patients by delivering an electrical shock to induce brain activity. It was almost always attached to the temples or foreheads of humanoids. Cortical stimulators were standard equipment in the sickbays of Starfleet vessels in the 24th century.
In 2154, Captain Jonathan Archer used a cortical stimulator, as directed by Phlox, in a vain attempt to revive Hoshi Sato. (ENT: "Observer Effect")
In 2364, Doctor Beverly Crusher used a cortical stimulator in a vain attempt to revive Lieutenant Natasha Yar after she was struck down by Armus. (TNG: "Skin of Evil")
In 2368, Crusher attempted to revive Captain Jean-Luc Picard with a cortical stimulator following his exposure to the Kataan probe. The stimulator's interruption of the beam from the Kataan probe caused Picard to go into neural shock, which only stabilized when the cortical stimulator was removed. The probe later disengaged the beam safely, and Picard recovered without further intervention, though the probe made him live fifty years of another being's life in approximately twenty real-time minutes. (TNG: "The Inner Light")
In 2369, Dr. Crusher used it to revive Counselor Deanna Troi after temporarily inducing clinical death to break a telepathic bond that was sapping her life force to keep Federation mediator Ves Alkar artificially young. (TNG: "Man of the People")
Later that year, Picard again had to be revived with cortical stimulators after an energy blast on an away mission damaged his artificial heart. (TNG: "Tapestry")
Soon after, Crusher used cortical stimulators in an attempt to revive Jo'Bril after he had been subjected to baryon radiation. (TNG: "Suspicions")
In 2370, Dr. Julian Bashir revived Quark with a cortical stimulator after he suffered extensive neural trauma from being shot. (DS9: "Necessary Evil")
In 2371, The Doctor treated Tuvok with a cortical stimulator after he was felled by hallucinations stemming from the presence of tachyons. (VOY: "Fury")
Soon after, The Doctor used two cortical stimulators to return Commander Chakotay's bio-neural energy to his body in sickbay. (VOY: "Cathexis")
In 2372, The Doctor attempted to revive Crewman Kurt Bendera with a cortical stimulator. It was unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead soon after. (VOY: "Alliances")
In 2373, The Doctor also used one on Tuvok when he suffered a t'lokan schism (VOY: "Flashback")
Later that year, The Doctor used a cortical stimulator on Captain Kathryn Janeway when she suffered a near-fatal injury. (VOY: "Coda")
In 2375, The Doctor on the Silver Blood USS Voyager used a cortical stimulator on B'Elanna Torres' duplicate, but failed to save her. (VOY: "Course: Oblivion")
Later that year, Neelix used a cortical stimulator on Pelk when he went into shock. (VOY: "Juggernaut")
Dermal regenerator
The dermal regenerator was a common, easily operable medical tool used by several civilizations to heal minor skin wounds, such as cuts and burns. The dermal regenerator could also be used to revert surgically modified skin to its normal state, as well as to remove scars. It could also be used to simulate wounds or burns.

Examples of usage
In 2369, Commander Riker suffered delusions brought on by Tilonians trying to get Starfleet secrets from him; in the delusions, Dr. Crusher used a dermal regenerator to heal a cut on his head repeatedly. He used the fact that the cut would reappear after it was healed, to identify that he was hallucinating. (TNG: "Frame of Mind")
The same year Commander Riker was treated with a dermal regenerator again after he suffered from deep cuts on his head caused by Spot. (TNG: "Timescape")
In 2369, Doctor Bashir used a dermal regenerator from a medkit to heal a bleeding wound on the forehead of the illusory Jadzia Dax. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")
In 2370, Bashir removed a brand from Quark's head, burned on by a member of the Circle. (DS9: "The Homecoming")
in 2371, The Doctor used a dermal regenerator to treat the burns of Ensign Seska. (VOY: "State of Flux")
In 2372, Dukat used a dermal regenerator after sitting on a sand spine. (DS9: "Indiscretion")
Later that year, Joseph Sisko asked his grandson Jake to get a dermal regenerator after he cut his hand with a knife while chopping vegetables. (DS9: "Homefront")
Dukat used a dermal regenerator to remove a scar from Kira Meru's face. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
In 2373, Kathryn Janeway used a dermal regenerator for a wound on her arm she received from a macrovirus. (VOY: "Macrocosm")
The Entharan weapons dealer Kovin thought it self-evident that he had a dermal generator available in his weapons development laboratory. (VOY: "Retrospect")
In 2374, Seven of Nine of USS Voyager used a dermal regenerator to heal tissue burns caused by subnucleonic radiation. (VOY: "One")
In 2376, Seven of Nine used a dermal regenerator to simulate wounds and third-degree plasma burns on Neelix. (VOY: "Warhead")
Later that year, when Kelis cut B'Elanna Torres's arm to lower her fever, she told him to run the dermal regenerator over her arm to heal the scrapes. (VOY: "Muse")
In 2377, to hide small sub-dermal communicators, The Doctor used a dermal regenerator to grow skin over the communicators in the palms of Neelix and Commander Chakotay. (VOY: "Workforce")
Later on Quarra, Chakotay used a dermal regenerator to remove temporary cosmetic changes to reveal that he was Human. (VOY: "Workforce, Part II")
In an alternate timeline, Jake Sisko used a dermal regenerator to grow skin over a wound on Melanie's forehead after she got injured by a knot on a tree. (DS9: "The Visitor")

Protoplaser
A protoplaser was a medical device used to treat injuries. The anabolic protoplaser was a specialized version of a protoplaser.
A protoplaser
In 2263 of the alternate reality, Doctor Leonard McCoy used a primitive protoplaser from the USS Franklin to treat Commander Spock's internal injuries. (Star Trek Beyond)
Personnel file information about Lois Eckridge, an emergency medical assistant, listed her certification to use a protoplaser. (TNG: "Eye of the Beholder" display graphic)
In a delusion created by Commander William T. Riker's mind while he was held captive on Tilonus IV, Doctor Beverly Crusher ordered for an anabolic protoplaser to be used in the treatment of a crewmember who had been injured by an exploding plasma torch. (TNG: "Frame of Mind")
Protodynoplaser
A protodynoplaser was a medical application used to stabilize a patient's immune system.
In 2366, Zalkonian patient "John Doe" had an unstable immune system after crash landing on a planet. Dr. Beverly Crusher ordered one of her assistants to use a protodynoplaser on "John Doe" to stabilize his immune system due to system infection. (TNG: "Transfigurations")
Osteogenic stimulator
An osteogenic stimulator was a medical tool used to stimulate the natural repair of broken or fractured bones.
Some shuttlecraft were equipped with osteogenic stimulators as part of their emergency medkits, but they could only heal minor fractures – more serious fractures required treatment at a medical facility on board a starship or at a starbase.
The model of dermal regenerator used on board Prometheus-class vessels doubled as an osteogenic stimulator. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
In 2371, an image of Benjamin Sisko that represented Doctor Julian Bashir's medical skill recommended that a woman's cranial trauma be treated with an osteogenic stimulator. (DS9: "Distant Voices")
In 2372, The Doctor instructed Kes to treat a patient's broken arm with the device. (VOY: "Resolutions")
In the 2013 alternate reality-set video game Star Trek, an osteogenic stimulator is one of the items available to scan. During the gameplay, Spock uses it to heal James T. Kirk's broken leg.
Vascular regenerator
Vascular regenerator used on wound
A vascular regenerator was a device used to repair blood vessels and stop bleeding. High alcohol levels in the blood might inhibit its function, though compensating for it might be attempted.
In 2371, The Doctor used a vascular regenerator to heal Fred Noonan's wounds after he was injured. (VOY: "The 37's")
Autosuture
The autosuture was a medical device, descended from the 20th century suture, that was used as early as the 22nd century. By the late 24th century this technology was laser-based. (VOY: "The Cloud")
The function of the autosuture is to seal closed and promote the healing of wounds from surgery or deep trauma by stimulating the patient's own anabolism. It is used where the dermal regenerator is inadequate.
Doctor Phlox used an autosuture during his operation on Porthos in 2152. It was used to secure the placement of the pituitary gland he transplanted from a Calrissian chameleon. (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay") Shortly thereafter, he traded his autosuture, among other things, for deuterium. (ENT: "Marauders")
Dr. Beverly Crusher used an autosuture to treat Captain Jean-Luc Picard after he was stabbed in the chest by Jono. (TNG: "Suddenly Human")
Dr. Julian Bashir used an autosuture to repair an injury to Martok's shoulder during a training exercise with Worf. While the repair was general, had the wound been three centimeters to the right, Martok's brachial artery would have been severed, causing much greater damage than an autosuture could repair. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")

Bioregenerative field
A bioregenerative field was a radiant energy field used to accelerate cell growth. The sample was submerged in a liquid before being exposed to the field. It could be used to accelerate the cellular development of DNA fragments to reconstruct DNA sequences.
One was employed by Doctor Julian Bashir in 2369 to accelerate the clone of Ibudan. (DS9: "A Man Alone").
Ocular implant
An ocular implant was a medical device designed to replace or augment a damaged or missing visual organ.

Seven of Nine's ocular implant
A common medical prosthesis in the United Federation of Planets as early as the 2360s, Starfleet doctor Katherine Pulaski had performed several surgeries involving implants during her career. In 2365, the doctor offered the procedure to USS Enterprise-D chief engineer Geordi La Forge, who declined based on his belief that the technology was not yet advanced enough to afford the same visual range as a VISOR. (TNG: "Loud As A Whisper")
By 2373, however, La Forge had undergone the procedure and received a pair of ocular implants. Similar in appearance to the normal humanoid eye, these implants were distinguished by a vibrant blue color with mechanized detail on the irises and pupils. Offering similar advantages (and disadvantages) as the VISOR, the implants allowed La Forge telescopic vision that included heat-detecting infrared capabilities. Side effects included the occasional headache. (Star Trek: First Contact; Star Trek: Insurrection)
In 2375, severe headaches ultimately led to the discovery that La Forge's optic nerve had regenerated due to exposure to metaphasic radiation on the Ba'ku planet. USS Enterprise-E CMO Beverly Crusher temporarily removed the ocular implants, during which time La Forge was capable of vision using his natural organs, although this effect wore off after he left the Ba'ku homeworld and was no longer regularly exposed to the radiation. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Geordi La Forge had also received ocular implants in an unknown, alternate future timeframe. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
In 2373, Doctor Julian Bashir of starbase Deep Space 9 suggested that General Martok undergo the procedure to receive an ocular implant after the Klingon lost his eye in combat with the Jem'Hadar Ikat'ika on Internment Camp 371. Martok was adamant that he did "not want an artificial eye". (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")
In 2374, the EMH program operating aboard the USS Voyager, lost in the Delta Quadrant, fashioned a custom ocular implant to replace former Borg drone Seven of Nine's cybernetic eyepiece. The Doctor prided himself in matching the color of the implant perfectly to Seven's intact eye. While the implant was indistinguishable from a normal Human eye, the new prosthetic retained Borg components granting Seven enhanced vision. Seven's implant was even better equipped to see irregularities in space-time than a 29th century Federation sensor. (VOY: "The Gift", "Scientific Method", "Relativity", "Imperfection")
The idea to give Geordi ocular implants came from LeVar Burton. He lobbied long and hard to get rid of the VISOR in Star Trek Generations, but it took until Star Trek: First Contact to get this request granted. (AOL chat, 1997)
While the ocular implant for Seven of Nine seen in "The Gift" appears to basically be a replacement eye, "Retrospect" appears to make it clear that the term refers to the metalic arch visible above her right eye.
