Mostly they use handwavium with a little side of plot armour....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8773873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8773873.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8773900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8773900.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium?
Eisenhorn had several rejuvenation treatments - and an augmetic servo harness (like Matt Damon's exo-frame in Elysium) hardwired into his head/cns.

Marines get bionics if they can't regrow it.
So do higher ranked guardsmen and in the necromundan hive spires, it's not unusual to see bionics on the higher strata of society.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8773952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8773952.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774066.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium?
Imperial medical technology is really, really good provided the Imperium gives a damn about you. Essentially, provided the injury hasn't destroyed your central nervous system, it's pretty much fixable. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774280.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium?

Its 40k it depends:

On who you are and where you are - what resources can you bring in to help.

Who does the fixing - your own team of specialist physicians, the Hospitilar, the Mechanicus - which branch of the latter - some will be wanting to use vat grown tissues and the like - other replace the flesh with metal. If you are really unlucky it would just be a overworked Guard doctor - in which case it may well be very basic.

The Imperium has the ability to fix pretty much anything, but it may not be the fix you anticipate.

Somehow it makes economic sense to lop off a guys arm and install a giant drill rather than have him hold a drill in his hands.

Slaves and lowest level workers are routinely given bionics. And when they die, the bionics are retrieved and shoved into the next sucker.

I can only assume that somehow the Imperium has really reliable and really easy to perform grafting techniques making a lot of bionics plug and play. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774375.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774467.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774467.page GMT Medical means of the Imperium?

Like Pit Slaves in Necromunda. Really more like "biounits" attached to an augment. When the biounit degrades or dies, they attach a new one to the augment. Suckers are easy to replace, and very flexible.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/696492/8774802.page GMT
