The taste and smell of bacta, described as 'sickly-sweet', stayed in the mouth and nasal cavity for weeks after immersion in a tank. Field tanks required patients to lie on their backs or stomachs while the bacta was run out and in again through filters. It was imperative that bacta be applied in a solution of clear synthetic fluid which mimicked the body's own vital fluids.īacta tanks came in two varieties: large tanks for installation in medical facilities, and portable collapsible tanks for emergency. The method of administration depended on the severity of the wounds. When bacta immersion was used, the patient would either be clothed in white shorts or a white gown depending on the person's gender. Bacta could be administered through disposable bacta patches, through direct injection, consumption (via bactade), through the application of a salve or out of a Bio-Bacta tank, or by submersion in a standard bacta tank.
