Biomaterials for orbital implants and ocular prostheses: Overview and future prospects

Acta Biomaterialia, 2014
The removal of an eye is one of the most difficult and dramatic decisions that a surgeon must consider in case of severe trauma or life-threatening diseases to the patient. The philosophy behind the design of orbital implants has evolved significantly over the last 60 years, and the use of ever more appropriate biomaterials has successfully reduced the

Skin‐Like Tri‐Modal Sensors Based on Soft Piezoelectric and Ionic Composites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multimodal perception of human skin, a soft, skin‐like tri‐modal sensor is presented. The device incorporates an ionically conductive, piezoelectric, elastic composite as its active layer, enabling independent detection of temperature, static strain, and dynamic strain within a single two‐terminal architecture.

Cochlear implants and other inner ear prostheses: today and tomorrow

Current Opinion in Physiology, 2020
Cochlear implants (CIs) are implantable auditory prostheses designed to restore access to sound in deaf individuals via direct electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. While CIs have been successful in restoring speech perception to many deaf patients, outcomes are variable and speech recognition in noise remains a problem.
