Artificial Organs
While 3-D printing is making a revolution in the medical industry, bioprinting is also making its presence felt in the sector. Primarily aimed to regenerate cells for burn victims, bioprinting has paved the way for several other medical possibilities as well. There has been constant research conducted behind bioprinting, and scientists have been making advancements in this technology. So far, they have been able to create blood vessels, synthetic ovaries, and pancreas. With the help of artificial organs, patients can receive better replacements. Artificial organs come handy when an adequate donor is hard to find. Though these organs are quite expensive, they do the work effectively.
Artificial organs can grow like an original organ once they are replaced against the faulty organ in the body. It is important to note that artificial organs cannot be placed in the body just like that; doctors need to prepare your body before inserting artificial organs.
There are instances when the body rejects the organ that further generates severe issues in the body. Hence, it is essential to conduct proper treatment before welcoming an artificial organ. Apart from this minor concern, artificial organs have successfully found their place in the medical industry and saved millions of lives so far. These life-saving transplants have saved many lives, and there have been sporadic cases of side effects.
