My two cents having had a lot of experience with surgery and the medical field in general.
Hemostats
Set it and forget it! Hemostats aren't a tool that a surgeon is holding onto the entire procedure. You make an incision and clamp the bleed with the hemostat. There it stays until you seal the bleed. (Then we can have the poetential for doctors to forget surgical tools inside of patients!!!)
Rib Spreader

Oooo, boy. If you've never seen this in action, be thankful. When we perform surgery to remove certain organs -- namely the lungs and heart -- the sternum sometimes needs to be sawn in half and this little fella is then used to crack and spread the ribcage open. Pretty brutal and breaks a lot of bones in the process. This could be an added step for removing the heart and lungs during surgery. (Scalpel, bonesaw, rib spreader) It would do significant brute damage, I imagine.
Electrical Coagulator
Sounds neat. Looks neat. Is neat.

Essentially a heated blade that cauterizes as you cut, reducing bleeding. Neato! No need for a hemostat with this thing lying around. Instructions only available in space Chinese so good luck turning it on and not setting the temperature too high...
Chest Compression System

Let me just warn you now.... this machine is one of the scariest and more brutal tools in modern medicine. Do yourself a favor and avoid looking into it anymore if you're squeamish.
This little guy gets strapped to a patient's chest and gives a "little nudge" to the chest cavity in an attempt to kickstart the heart. A CPR machine if you will. Very effective and very harmful for all the good it does. There's an iconic CRACKing noise associated with these as the first compression usually shatters a few ribs (most of them). Eeh. Brutal but it saves lives and would be a nice alternative to the usual epinephrine pen that SS13 crews go through by the boatload... Just be sure not to set the pounds of pressure it uses during compression too high... *wink *wink
That's about it. I'd like to see broken bones added as well but I'm not certain how that would be implemented. Maybe X amount of brute has a chance to break a bone? The treatment could be splints or casts that can be cut off after 15-20 minutes.
Feel free to ignore this last paragraph if you think it's silly or if it's reaching too far.
