Bionic chest
From Bionic Woman Wiki
The bionic chest is a replacement part apparently not directly devised by employees of the Berkut Group. It may have been designed by Sarah Corvus herself, the only known possessor of the device. ("Second Chances")
[edit] Capabilities
The precise capabilities of the bionic chest are unknown, although it can be safely assumed it provides better protection of the heart.
[edit] Commonality with original Bionic series
The closest analogue to the bionic chest is with Michael Austin — who is said to have bionic ribs and a bionic spine (Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman) — as well as Kate Mason and Alan Devlin, who have had virtually complete bionic body replacements. (Bionic Showdown)
In the original source material, Cyborg, there is a reference to the fact that Steve Austin had vitallium-reinforced ribs, but this was not touched upon in the series proper, nor did it carry over into the 1976 Bionic Woman series.
