Overview
A Myomer-Implantation Device is a specialized Star League medical device which automatically replaces or repairs human musculature with Myomer fibres. The technology which made such devices possible became lostech in the Inner Sphere and their operation is not fully understood, though the recovery of knowledge necessary for the surgical implantation of myomer has made the MID largely unnecessary. Still, a few devices do exist in working order and (when functioning properly) can dramatically increase the speed at which myomer is implanted.[1]
While operating the MID does require some medical skill, for a patient it couldn't be any easier, simply placing their damaged limb in the device and letting it do its work. In less than thirty minutes a damaged hand or foot can be completely repaired, while an entire limb takes only one hour.[1]
As these devices are at least two hundred or more years old, malfunctions can and do occur to varying degrees. In most cases this will result in minor faults to the affected body part; only when something goes horribly, horribly wrong will the patient's life be in danger.[1]
