 ===== History =====
-Developed shortly after the production of a self-disposing rejuvenating nanite colony intended for battlefield injuries, the brainstorming of a quick and convenient application device was on the table soon. Driven by [[organisation/united_defence_directive|UDD]] demand for a battlefield solution was put to open tender, Tanhauss won the bidding process and got to work.
+Developed shortly after the production of a self-disposing rejuvenating nanite colony intended for battlefield injuries, the brainstorming of a quick and convenient application device was on the table soon. Driven by [[organisation/united_defence_directive|UDD]] demand for a battlefield solution, the concept was put to open tender and various pharmaceutical companies made bids. Tanhauss won the bidding process and got to work.
-Initial designs revolved around applying the nanite colony in a gel, applied and rubbed directly into skin. Tests and trials showed that gel had good, but had the unintended effect of applying itself to the doctor. So, design moved to a 'squirt gun' to prevent this from happening, but the shape of the can and apparatus they were revolving around became too awkward to remain convenient.
+Initial designs revolved around applying the nanite colony in a gel, applied and rubbed directly into skin. Tests and trials showed that gel had good healing potential, but carried the unintended effect of applying itself to the doctor if they were not wearing gloves. So, designs moved to contain the gel in a 'squirt gun' to prevent this from happening, but the shape of the can and apparatus they were revolving around became too awkward to remain convenient.
-Soon, a finer spray was settled on, reducing effectiveness on serious wounds, but still able to buy a soldier time. After the spray was trialled with the UDD and sold successfully at profit, further iterations of the SPRAY delivery system miniaturised
+When it became clear that the viscosity of the gel was a factor in the design which was proving cumbersome, a finer spray was settled on, reducing effectiveness on serious wounds, but still able to buy a soldier time. After the spray was trialled with the UDD and sold successfully at profit, further iterations of the SPRAY delivery system miniaturised the application device, and upscaled the effectiveness of the spray.
+It is important to note that SPRAY is not patented, as per terms dictated in the UDD's bidding process to ensure fair competition, and the creation of generics for the civilian market later. Products similar to SPRAY have been made by other pharmaceutical companies through the [[territories:aleph_null|Aleph Cluster]] under a variety of different names.
