“It could also help provide the basis for developing neural prostheses capable of restoring function to paralyzed limbs.”

“Other implantables that are explanted, reprocessed, and reimplanted into new patients include orthopedic prostheses and dental appliances.”

“This allowed greater use of that process on the confection of prostheses compared to the brazing process.”
