MD-4 medical droid

The MD-4 was a model of medical droid and a part of the MD-series that was manufactured by Industrial Automaton. It was slightly humanoid in appearance.
This droid model had specialized appendages for performing microsurgical procedures and could perform these without assistance.
==Description==
Industrial Automaton's MD-4 first-degree droid was part of the MD-series of medical droids. Related to the 2-1B surgical droid—another of Industrial Automaton's products—in terms of aesthetic design, it was 1.5 Imperial standard meters tall and had a torso unit with two arms topped by a cranial unit. The legs were shrouded in a surgical gown to protect delicate internal mechanisms. MD-4 droids were ambidextrous.
MD-series droids generally had gray plating and green highlights. The photoreceptors were yellow. Costing 2,000 credits, MD-4s were available for purchase throughout the galaxy. The torso was the location of a connection socket to allow the droid to directly connect to a computer. The MD-4 employed reduction servomotors and actuators to give their arms slow, precise movements to perform complex surgical procedures.

MD-4 droids were intended for surgical purposes, with specialized microsurgical appendages, including miniaturized vibroscapels, flex clamps, and fiber optics.
