Abstract:
This paper reviews the use of the Swanson finger prosthesis, concentrating on clinical results from the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and modes of prosthetic "failure". While "failure" is generally associated with fracture, it is recognised that fracture does not always necessitate replacement of the Swanson prosthesis. Fracture tends to occur at the junction of the distal stem and hinge of the prosthesis. Initial improvements in ulnar deviation and range of motion (ROM) tend to be gradually reduced over the duration of implantation, and there is little evidence to suggest any long-term impr

Abstract:
We retrospectively reviewed 42 patients who underwent resection of the distal ulna with implantation of a silicone rubber ulnar head prosthesis (45 wrists). Two prostheses were used: the original Swanson prosthesis, and a prosthesis of our own design. Follow-up X-rays showed migration or breakage of 63% of the prostheses. No statistically significant correlation existed between the quality of functional outcome and the integrity of the prostheses. There was no significant difference between pre-operative and post-operative range of motion for the entire group or between patients with broken or

This paper describes the testing of three single-piece silicone NeuFlex metacarpophalan-geal prostheses in a finger function simulator and describes the resulting modes of prosthesis failure. In all cases, failure was due to imminent fracture of the prosthesis across the pivot of the central hinge section. This result is in contrast with previous in-vitro and in-vivo experience with single-piece silicone Swanson and Sutter metacarpophalangeal prostheses, which both tend to fracture at the junction of the distal stem and the hinge.

The fungal discolouration of silicone rubber prostheses is reported in four cases. In two of the cases, the discolouration was caused by the fungus Candida tropicalis. In the other two cases, two different fungal organisms, namely Trichoderma sp. and Scedosporium prolificans were incriminated. The non-porous silicone rubber layers create an enclosed environment in the suction cup of the prosthesis and preclude ventilation at the prosthesis-stump interface. The moisture as a result of sweat and body warmth in the stump assists fungal growth. Residual salts from the sweat, sebum from sebaceous g

Vaginal agenesis is one of the major congenital anomalies affecting women. Postoperative prosthetic vaginal dilators are indicated in patients treated surgically for vaginal agenesis. Although different dental materials such as acrylics and silicone-coated materials are used, addition silicones alone have never been used for the fabrication of prosthetic vaginal dilators. Addition silicone materials have advantages, such as high elastic recovery, high tear and tensile strengths, which aid in the definitive use of vaginal dilators.

Maxillofacial prostheses are usually replaced periodically due to poor tear strength at the edges, inelasticity, and excessive hardness. Improvement in mechanical properties can be achieved by adding nanosilica fillers. Medical grade silicone as a maxillofacial prosthesis material is difficult to find on the local market and is quite expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to have an alternative maxillofacial prosthesis material that is more affordable and accessible.

Abstract:
Abstract Oral cancer can result in the loss of the tongue through surgical removal known as glossectomy. Patients who have undergone this procedure face challenges during speech, mastication, and deglutition. Currently, tongue prosthetics lack functionality and are mainly cosmetic. Many of these prosthetics are made of wax and connected to a retainer, which attaches to the back molars of the patient. The goal of this project was to develop a self-contained mechatronic tongue prosthesis that can fit within the oral cavity and aid in deglutition. Investigations into various techniques and sensor

Abstract:
Abstract While using a prosthesis, transtibial amputees can experience pain and discomfort brought on by large pressure gradients, at the interface between the residual limb and prosthetic socket. Current prosthetic interface solutions attempt to alleviate these pressure gradients by using soft homogenous liners to reduce and distribute pressures. This research investigates an additively manufactured metamaterial inlay with adjustable mechanical response in order to reduce peak pressure gradients around the limb. The inlay uses a hyperelastic behaving metamaterial (US10244818) comprised of tri

Abstract:
Abstract Soft robotics has emerged as a promising technology in the Biomedical field and the development of prostheses. These devices use flexible materials such as silicone, rubber, and other polymers to create lightweight and adaptable structures that mimic a human hand’s complexity and dexterity. Their soft and flexible nature offers a unique advantage over traditional rigid robotic systems, allowing for safer and more efficient environmental interaction. One of the most crucial elements of a soft robotic hand is the soft actuators, which enable a soft robotic system to interact with the en
