General characteristics
This surgically implanted gill permits you to breath under water. Based on a simple dialysis apparatus technology, this device enriches blood with oxygen and removes extra carbon dioxide. This exchange is achieved through a highly selective membrane made out of plastic and biomaterials, which has an enormous affinity for each of the two gasses and allows only a one-way passage of each of these. Connected through shunts with the carotid artery and jugular vein in the neck, this piece of equipment is protected by a mechanical shell that also monitors the concentrations of O2 and CO2 in your blood. Information can be sent to your computer or to your digital wristwatch, which you can get for a special discount price from the manufacturer.
