Body implants are medical devices that are placed under the skin to replace or support a body part. Common body implants include breast implants, pacemakers, and artificial joints. Body implants are usually made from materials that are compatible with the human body, such as titanium or silicone.
Some of the emerging trends in body implants and prosthetics include the use of 3D-printed implants and prosthetics, the use of biocompatible materials, and the use of smart materials.
