Electrically Driven Implantable Prostheses [PDF]

open access: possible, 1986
The electrochemical and electrical nature of muscular and biological reactions has been known for centuries. The work of Galvani in the eighteenth century in his famous frog leg experiment as a Professor of Anatomy at Padua University, led to Volta’s experiments and epochal discovery of the production of electricity by electrochemical reactions ...

Implants and prostheses

2009
The idea of recovering lost body functions by using available materials and technologies is documented even in antiquity. The ancient Egyptians used linen saturated with rubber as wound dressings, the Aztec civilisation used gold in dental fillings, Romans had urological catheters, while the first prosthetic hands, feet and legs appeared during the ...

Prospective 10-year cohort study based on a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on implant-supported full-arch maxillary prostheses. Part 1: sandblasted and acid-etched implants and mucosal tissue.

Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 2012
BACKGROUND There have been very few long-term controlled studies (i.e., over 5 years duration) focusing on marginal conditions for implants with a sandblasted, large grit, and acid-etched (SLA) surface.

Neurophysiological Requirements for Implanted Cochlear Prostheses

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1979
In a few introductory remarks the technological, neurophysiological and clinical assessments of new developments in modern, highly sophisticated hearing aids are reviewed. The necessity of preprocessing auditory information is discussed as well as the problems related to the choice of suitable electrodes, and, in particular, how much auditory ...

Implantable Antenna for Visual Prostheses

Asia Communications and Photonics Conference, 2012
Inductively coupled implants receiving both power and data, for use in humans or animals are disclosed. Nickel Titanium (Nitinol) with other materials, forms an antenna, reducing noise while increasing ease of implantation, efficiency and biocompatibility.

Gingival augmentation for osseointegrated implant prostheses

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1986
A method of solving some problems inherent with osseointegrated implant prosthesis has been presented. A removable flange can reestablish lip support or block escape of unwanted air while allowing the access necessary for competent hygiene procedures. Overdentures may be indicated to provide the prosthetic gingival surface necessary for adequate food ...

Complicated Implantations of Inflatable Penile Prostheses

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1987
In conclusion, implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis into a normal penis is usually a relatively uncomplicated procedure, but the urologist should be aware of the possibility of complications described in this article. He must be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the various prostheses and the surgical techniques required to ...

Cochlear implant prostheses: Strategies and progress

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 1980
Progress in development of elements of higher-generation cochlear implant devices is briefly summarized. Initial tests with early model devices indicate that these devices will gain wide application, as aids capable of effecting significant levels of speech recognition in the profoundly (totally) deaf.
