Bloodpack

Template:Item infobox Bloodpacks are a basic Template:Term that restore 5% of the patient's blood and heal 0.5 Template:Bloodloss damage upon use. It is one of only two ways of restoring blood to a deceased patient, the other being blood donations from another patient with the same blood composition.

It is generally preferred to use saline over bloodpacks when possible, as low blood levels do not prevent revival and saline is usually easy to produce and therefore readily available. Bloodpacks are mostly utilized outside of Medical, where saline is not available.

Bloodpacks are the only basic topical that cannot be made using the medical techfab or crafted.

Since bloodpacks work on deceased lifeforms, they can be especially useful to use on a chemical slime or a zombie corpse as they can restore blood levels and allow more reagents to be harvested from the corpses. This can be incredibly powerful as a few stacks of blood packs can yield multiple jugs of omnizine or zombie blood if applied to the respective corpses.
