Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

A Novel Natural Fiber Filler Reinforced Bio-Medical Polymer Composite [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences
Bio-medical implants and prostheses are made of metals and their alloys and are prone to corrosion and wear. Therefore, it seems necessary to develop lightweight reinforced polymer composites with enhanced properties.

ARTIFICIAL JOINTS: THEIR TRIBOLOGY AND WEAR PARTICLE ANALYSIS [PDF]

, 2008
The wear, friction, lubrication and particle distribution of differently heat treated CoCrMo cast prostheses provided by the same supplier were analysed. Wear tests were conducted on both pin-on-plate and simulation rigs.

Conformal Thermoreversible Gelatin‐Based Gel for High‐Fidelity Electrophysiological Recording and Acute Peripheral Nerve Interfacing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A thermoreversible gelatin‐based gel forms a soft, conformal bioelectronic interface on complex biological surfaces. The flowable precursor penetrates hair‐dense regions, solidifies in situ, and maintains low impedance through adaptive contact and hydration retention.

Comparison of Ground Reaction Forces Components on Sound and Prosthetic Legs in Trans-Tibial Amputated Individuals

طب جانباز, 2016
Aims: The utilization of prosthesis not only changes the gait pattern in the patients with lower-limb amputations, but also applies asymmetrical forces on the limbs leading to disturbances. Therefore, it is very important to identify the application mode

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Smart Antibacterial Coatings: Harnessing Bacterial Redox Activity for Infection Control

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
In this study, we have shown that ceftazidime‐loaded poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT@CAZ) functions as a smart, redox‐responsive antibacterial coating that couples bacterial electrical activity with localized antibiotic delivery. Shewanella oneidensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa induced distinct redox responses in PEDOT, reflecting their ...

Patient satisfaction concerning implant-supported prostheses: an observational study

Brazilian Oral Research, 2015
The aim of this observational study was to assess the degree of patient satisfaction toward implant-supported prostheses. A questionnaire was used with two scales (one consisting of detailed adjectival and the other of numerical responses) regarding ...

Cardiac prostheses: toward permanent implantation

Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1984
The pneumatically actuated total artificial heart (TAH) can maintain normal physiology in man and in experimental animals for several months with extracorporeal pneumatic actuation through the skin. The ultimate goal is the development of a totally implantable cardiac prosthesis that functions for a minimum of two years. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation’

Nanoporous Silica Embedded in Nanoporous Platinum: A Versatile Composite Coating for Implant‐Associated Drug Delivery From Neuronal Electrodes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Nanoporous silica nanoparticles incorporated in nanoporous platinum offer the possibility for implant‐associated drug delivery from neuronal electrodes. ABSTRACT Sensorineural hearing loss, resulting from damage to the hair cells of the inner ear, profoundly impairs quality of life.
