Matching the Iris Color of Ocular Prosthesis Using an Eye Contact Lens: New Technique

Iraqi Dental Journal, 2017
The prosthodontist can give a cosmetically acceptable ocular prosthesis for those patients undergoing surgical resection of the eye ball. This artificial replacement being either stock or custom made. A favourable esthetics results could be achieved by select- ing tinted contact lenses to match the iris color of the ocular prosthesis with natural eye ...

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a
