Goa'uld Healing Device
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Science Fiction universe of the TV Show Stargate SG-1, The Goa'uld Healing Device is a technology used by the Goa'uld to heal wounds. It is a powerful device, able to heal most severe diseases and significant physical trauma, but comes nowhere close to the power of the sarcophagus, and cannot revive the dead. This, like the hand device, can only be used by someone with naqahdah in his or her bloodstream, meaning a Goa'uld, or a former host.
The device takes the form of a jewel attached to a metal band; the jewel is supposed to be placed under the hand. It is used the most extensively by the Tok'ra for healing as they do not use the sarcophagus because of its psychological effects. SGC has obtained at least one of these devices, which was kept in reserve for occasional use by Samantha Carter, temporary host of the Tok'ra Jolinar, although Vala Mal Doran, ex-host to Qetesh, is also capable of using it, and has displayed considerably more skill than Col. Carter, most likely due to her having been a host for a far longer period than Carter. Thus, Vala is presently the SGC member most often asked to operate the device.
