IV tap

The IV tap, often just called an IV, was a medical instrument implanted through surgery. Its purpose was to enable the swift delivery of stimulants directly into the circulatory system. This device comprised a lengthy tube, equipped with a needle at its tip for insertion into the blood vessels, and a dispensing unit that metered the release of stimulants or medications over time.

In approximately 0 ABY, Gheeta, a member of the Shell Hutt species, employed an IV tap to inject a stimulant designed to induce rage into his own bloodstream. He did this as part of his plan to defeat Boba Fett and his group of bounty hunters. Furthermore, the Ssi-ruuk race utilized IVs to introduce drugs into their victims prior to the process of entechment.
