Bionic Body Replacements
What are they?
Bionic limbs are artificial limbs that work by using signals from an individual's muscles to seamlessly move. Some bionic limbs also rely on electrical signals from the brain and nerves in order to create the proper movements.
Why are they made?
Artificial limbs, or prostheses, are used to replace a missing body part that may have been lost due to trauma, disease, or congenital defect.
Specifications
The type of prosthesis a person can use is dependent on the individual, including the cause of amputation or limb loss, and the location of the missing extremity.
What are they made of?
These life-like creations can be made from PVC or a range of silicones and cover the prosthetic limb using a variety of methods, such as adhesive, stretchable skins, suction, form fitting, or a skin sleeve.
