Considering that the series has a few roots in ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fanfiction, it's easy to see where this came from.

[[AfraidOfNeedles Needles are scary]], so in the spirit of medical advancement, a lot of ScienceFiction portrays future doctors instead delivering MagicAntidote, InstantSedation, etc. to patients via a gun-like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_injector jet injector]] -- also often referred as a "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypospray hypospray]]" ever since ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' had popularized that name.
In a darker application, jet injectors are also used in some sci-fi works to insert microscopic explosives into a victim's heck for the purposes of ExplosiveLeash, WhyAmITicking, and/or YourHeadASplode.
Jet injectors are a RealLife technology and a functional alternative to classical syringes, but their mass adoption is hampered mainly by the issues of proper disinfection (both of the device, and of the open puncture wounds it produces) -- how future medicine will solve this problem is usually HandWaved in fiction. Also, while RL jet injectors are primarily applied to the patient's arm to deliver medicine into their muscles, fictional hyposprays are often jabbed right into the neck, implying an intravenous or intraarterial injection. Sometimes, they can even do so right through the patient's clothes -- never mind the even greater sanitary problems posed by dirty and/or sweaty clothing.
