Approved Tech Sakura Artifical Lung

Intent: Create Additional medical technology from Sakura
Development Thread: If needed
Manufacturer: Sakura Welfare
Model: Artificial Lung
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: Variable Sizes
Production: Mass-Produced. (Anyone.)
Material:

• Plasteel
• Internal Components

Description: Designed to provide relief to patients who have lost lungs and require replacement or transplant. The system worked on by Sakura is not new but it is easier to get as well as inexpensive and provided by their hospital ships and facilities. The lungs themselves are lightweight and made to be usable in a variety of species that require oxygenation of the blood. The units are not shielded from emp and ion weaponry, they are able to be used for extended periods while waiting for donor lungs to be transplants and can be put in the user. It isn't made o augment or make it so one doesn't have to breathe anymore nor does it function like a jedi using breath control able to hold oxygen in the lung for days or even weeks being used slowly.

The units are not shielded from emp and ion weaponry.

Depending on how this works, this may not need to be in here.

If these work on the principles of normal respiration (at least for humans), the lungs themselves don't do any work. The lungs basically serve as area for gas exchange, but don't actually use any power of their own to accomplish this task. Air moves in and out of the lungs based on the contracting and relaxing of the diaphragm muscle.

If this artificial lung isn't attached to the diaphragm muscle (which has its own set of advantages and disadvantages), then this will need a power source to pump air in and out of the gas exchanged field.

Ehh it would require the use of an oxygenator whihc is technology and I'd say presents a weakness for it. Since usually after surgery you aren't going to go running anyway... but I have no problem removing it if need be.

[member="Matsu Ike"], it's ultimately your call. If you're okay with it, so am I.
