MD-4 medical droid

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 and 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 , flex clamps, and fiber optics.

Constructed on the droid factory world of Telti, they were employed by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Aboard the Imperial EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Far Orbit, an MD-4 droid oversaw the surgical unit. Three MD-4 droids served under Doctor Momaw Mowadan aboard the luxury liner Kuari Princess. Antar Roat, Wedge Antilles' cover identity to infiltrate Coruscant in 6 ABY, was said to have been treated for battle injuries by MD-4s.
