A Synthetic G-I Tract is a cyberware device.

  • It is a replacement for organic organs.
  • The exact size and dimensions of the G-I Tract are tailored to match the physical characteristics of the recipient.

Description (Specifications)

An augmentation that replaces the small and large intestine with a composite system of filters and biochemical processing chambers that mimic the usual intestinal processes. Individuals equipped with this system also undergo a rectal replacement that means feces are no longer produced. Instead, a solid, odorless pellet is produced that can be easily and discreetly ejected.

  • It is powered by tiny thermoelectric generators that produce the needed electrical power from body heat and from chemical reactions.
  • It may be connected to a Cybernetic Stomach to completely replace an individual's digestive system.

History & Background (Dossier)

The various parts of the G-I Tract, including elements such as the casings, microelectronics, and connections to the other parts of the body, are made with biocompatible materials. These may include metal alloys, carbon nanotubes, silicon gels, and layered polymers.

Upgrades

A Synthetic A-I tract can be modified:

  • Toxin Filter: ingested material can be filtered to remove toxins that would cause harm if they were passed into the bloodstream, making the individual immune to all ingested poisons.
