Speaking of
prosthetic limbs, we have to address the subject of endo prostheses. This type
of prosthesis involves replacing the three important elements of our bodies.
Namely, bone, muscle and blood vessels, internal organs. But first things
first.
The simplest and most widely used is a bone prosthesis. This type of prosthesis originates from a field of medicine as dentistry. Many people say they will never agree to change their bodies in the artificial close and not let artificial limbs to the head. But it continued to carry fillings, crowns, braces, not realizing that it's part of the jaw of the skull. These small patches make life much easier and are seen as a natural part of the body.
With the
proliferation of 3D printers, it became possible to print a portion of the
skull and integrate them with the native bone. Printing bone and cartilage also
feasible. The only problem is positioned the material, which is used for
printing.
One of
these days, thanks to the 3D printer, it became possible to print the blood
vessels to replace damaged. This technology is not yet widespread, but has been
experimentally proven that a possible replacement vessels. In terms of
artificial muscles, everything is much more complicated. Were prepared
analogues of human artificial muscles, which are superior in strength to
natural several times. But still there are problems with the integration of
composite fibers as a bionic body. When the global prosthetic replacement
specific muscle is not in demand, but they can be used in the structure of
prostheses.
Internal
organs. It is very good progress in the development of prosthetic plane. Heart,
throat, pancreas, liver and kidneys can already "cut" by changing to
artificial. At the moment, it has been made a number of statements regarding
the development of artificial light, but we are talking about the very fabric
of the body. Physiological processes, unfortunately, it is impossible to
inherit.
The speed
of technological progress makes admire daily discovering new opportunities. Not
far off is the day when the body's synthesis and the mechanism will be as
natural as riding in the car today.
