Artificial Vital Organs and Medical Bionics; Used to Replace Damaged or Diseased Organs
Artificial Vital Organs and Medical Bionics
Artificial vital organs and medical bionics are used to replace damaged or diseased organs, as well as to restore its functions. An artificial organ is an engineered medical device that can be integrated or implanted into the body to replace the natural organ, to augment or duplicate specific functions so the patient may return to a normal life as soon as possible. While, in medicine, bionics means the replacement or enhancement of organs or other parts of the body by mechanical versions. It is the study of electronics and mechanics to replace a limb or other part of the organ.
The key difference between bionic and prosthetic is
that bionic limbs are artificial limbs that work using signals from an
individual's muscles to move seamlessly, while prosthetic limbs are artificial
limbs that require body power to move. Artificial
vital organs and medical bionics research efforts are directed towards
improving human health, with the corresponding technological improvements in
the field. This has paved the way for artificial vital organs and medical
bionics to be grown and manufactured in the laboratory across the world.
Medical bionics is a branch of medical science that
deals with the treatment and recovery of human body after injuries or diseases.
Replacement of a lost organ or whole-body system is the main aim of this branch
of medical science. Medical bionics therefore refers to the research of
artificial body components that are replaced for a normal functioning. It also
involves the research of substitutes for organs or the whole body systems which
cannot be replaced by artificial means due to various reasons. Artificial organs
can be created and transplanted successfully. The Global
Artificial Vital Organs and Medical Bionics Market is estimated to account for US$ 38,658.6 Mn in terms of
value and is expected to reach US$
73,316.9 Mn by the end of 2027.
Most commonly transplanted organs are the liver,
kidney, pancreas, lungs, heart, and intestines. For instance, according to the data
published in October 2022 by the German Reference Center for Ethics in the Life
Sciences, in 2021, total number of kidney transplants in Germany reached 1,994
compared to 1,909 in the previous year (2020).
