Others had tricorder-like handheld devices which they pointed at people talking as if it were a microphone. (Star Trek Generations)

A deleted scene from the movie mentioned that at the event Kirk was going to have to smile for the "holographic recorder"s, which may have been these tools.

Kukulkan's machinery

Kukulkan machinery

Kirk and McCoy disconnect the machinery from the Capellan power-cat

Kukulkan's machinery were various systems aboard Kukulkan's starship that support the creatures in his creature collection. One of the systems creates a virtual world in the mind of the creature, so that it can live in peace in its natural environment. Kukulkan also used this system to create a virtual manifestation of Kukulkan's city in the minds of members of the USS Enterprise crew so that they would have an opportunity to solve the riddle of the city. When in captivity aboard his ship, Kirk and McCoy released a Capellan power-cat by pulling its cables and disconnecting it from the system. The cat went crazy and started to destroy the machinery, distracting Kukulkan long enough for Spock to use the Enterprise's phasers to disable Kukulkan's ship.

Red, black and silver pointed tool

This type of device was used multiple times aboard the USS Enterprise. It was utilized for both engineering and medical purposes.

In 2266, a crewman was carrying one of these devices when he descended from a diagonal Jefferies tube and it was one of two devices, the other being a laser beacon, that he planned to put away in storage. (TOS: "Charlie X")

While the ship entered orbit of Exo III later that year, Captain Kirk carried the device from the engineering station on the Enterprise's bridge to the command chair. He sat with the tool for a while, briefly examining it, then took it with him when he had a discussion with Spock near the vessel's science station. Kirk subsequently carried the device back to the command chair, where he gave it to a command division male crewmember in exchange for a clipboard. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")

In the revised final draft script of "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", this device (which appears in the episode's teaser) wasn't mentioned at all.

The following year, this type of device was used by Doctor Leonard McCoy upon making an (ultimately successful) attempt to revive Khan Noonien Singh in the Enterprise's sickbay. (TOS: "Space Seed")

While a prematurely aged Kirk was undergoing treatment in the ship's sickbay, the tool was next to his bed. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")

On several occasions in 2268, the device was on a work surface next to an examination bed while McCoy operated on a patient. These patients included Sarek, Sargon-possessed Kirk, and brainless Spock. (TOS: "Journey to Babel", "Return to Tomorrow", "Spock's Brain")

Later the same year, the tool was in sickbay while Kirk and McCoy were there. (TOS: "Elaan of Troyius")

Shortly thereafter, the device was in an emergency surgical kit that Nurse Christine Chapel brought with her to the surface of planet Amerind to help treat Kirk. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")

The tool was also used by Chapel on Spock after he disastrously mind-melded with V'ger at one point in the 2270s (Star Trek: The Motion Picture), and by McCoy on Peter Preston in 2285. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

In the final draft script of "Charlie X", this device was called a Phynburg Oscillating Framizam (which was actually an in-joke reference to TOS Prop Master Irving Feinberg). That was the only scripted name to refer to the tool, though the same term was applied to a long rod which is visible in a scene immediately prior to the one wherein this hand-held device first appears. In the non-canon reference book Star Fleet Technical Manual, it was called an anabolic protoplaser.
This type of device was included in a series of TOS Season 3 publicity photographs featuring actors DeForest Kelley and Majel Barrett as McCoy and Chapel respectively. Both a small version and a large variety of this device is pictured in The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which notes that the tool "heals wounds w/o using stitches, bandages, etc." A page showing three technical schematics of the "anabolic protoplaser" was published in the book Star Fleet Technical Manual.
