surgical implants

Surgical implants are medical devices placed inside the body to replace or support damaged or missing tissues, joints, or organs. They can be made of materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic and are designed to restore function, reduce pain, or improve quality of life. Examples include hip or knee replacements, pacemakers, dental implants, and stents. Implants are carefully selected and surgically inserted by healthcare professionals to ensure they integrate well with the body's tissues and provide long-lasting support or function.
