1.Types of Medical implant

2.Properties of medical implant
3.Uses of medical implant
4.Materials for artificial hips are Stainless steel, Polyethylene, & Ceramic
5. Artificial hips are used in hip replacement surgeries.
6. Heart Peacemaker treat patients with conditions that cause abnormal heart rhythms with the used of Lithium battery.
7. Stainless steel: higher corrosion, resistance, higher cryogenic, toughness, higher work, hardening rate, higher hot strength, higher ductility,
higher strength and hardness, a more attractive appearance, & lower maintenance
8. Polyethylene: low strength, hardness and rigidity, but has a high ductility and impact strength as well as low friction, nonpolar, saturated,
high molecular weight hydrocarbons
9. Ceramic: mechanical strength in spite of brittleness; chemical durability against the deteriorating effects of oxygen, water, acids, bases, salts,
and organic solvents; hardness, contributing to resistance against wear; thermal and electrical conductivity considerably lower than that of
metals; and an ability to take a decorative finish.
10. Lithium floats on water, is highly reactive with it and forms strong hydroxide solutions, yielding lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
11. Silicone gel: low chemical reactivity. Low toxicity. Thermal stability (constancy of properties over a wide temperature range of −100 to 250
°C). The ability to repel water and form watertight seals.
12. Copper particle: ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity.
13. PMMA are strong, tough, and lightweight material
14. Artificial Eye Lenses replace a patient’s natural eye lens during cataract surgery by using PMMA and Silicone.
15. Breast implant reconstruct, reshape or enhance the size of a woman’s breast by using the silicone gel.

• Medical implant is a medical device manufactured to:

• Replace a missing biological structure
• Support a damaged biological structure
• Enhance an existing biological structure.

• Some implants are made from skin, bone or other body tissues. Others are made from
metal, plastic, ceramic or other materials. Implants can be placed permanently or they
can be removed once they are no longer needed.

• It’s amazing how often people need to get implants of some sort to help them heal
from an injury or ailment. Now-a-days they make implants for just about every part.
Other Medical Implants:

• Spine Screws, Rods and Artificial Discs

• Spine screws, rods and artificial discs are all hardware used in several types of spinal fusion surgeries where two or more vertebrae
are fused together.

• Metal Screws, Pins, Plates and Rods

• Metal screws, pins, plates and rods are the medical hardware pieces used to repair all sorts of bone fractures. These items are used
to help realign fractured bones and hold them together to allow them to heal.

• Artificial Knees
• Artificial knees are used to replace the real knee cap or joint in a patient who needs partial or total knee replacement surgery. There
are several types of artificial knees and joints, so do your research if you need this type of surgery.

• Coronary Stents
• Coronary Stents are used in patients who have unstable angina or have had a recent heart attack because of blocked arteries. These
stents are small tubes that are inserted into any of the arteries that supply blood to the patient’s heart. They are used to open up the
artery to allow better blood flow.

• Ear Tubes
• Ear tubes are used to alleviate any severe build up of fluid in a patient’s middle ear that can’t be cured by medication. These are small
tubes inserted into the ear drum. There are a variety of ear tubes on the market. Some are used on a temporary basis where others
are designed for long-term use to treat chronic conditions.

Formative Assessment: (5 minutes)
• Group assignment:

Conduct an interview of a person that work in the medical field (e.g.

nurse, doctor, and dentist) or someone who has experience with
medical implants. Try to find out the pros and cons of having medical
implants and the proper ways of taking care of them. (Put your outputs
in a video clips, PowerPoint presentation or scrapbook)
