Medical Implants and Prosthetics

To restore damaged parts, certain devices or tissues are implanted inside or on the surface of the patient. These are called medical implants. These also include prosthetics which mean artificial body parts. Others have function like monitoring body functions, delivering medication or providing support to organs and tissues. Some implants are derived from body parts while others are fabricated using metals and alloys. These can be incorporated permanently or may be removed after certain time. Surgical implants have enough risks. They may induce allergies, swelling or other immunological problems. They may have chances to break and even cause internal damage. More research is being carried on to reduce the risk and use them for benefits:

i.    Orthopedics
ii.   Breast implants
iii.  Dental implants
iv.  Cosmetic implants
v.   Contraceptive implants
vi   Sensory and neurological implants
