prótesis
Scope note: Sustitutos artificiales de partes del cuerpo y materiales insertados en los tejidos con fines funcionales, cosméticos o terapéuticos. Las prótesis pueden ser funcionales, como en el caso de los brazos o piernas artificiales, o cosméticas, como en el caso de un ojo artificial. Los implantes, todos ellos insertados quirúrgicamente en el organismo, suelen ser utilizados para fines terapéuticos. Existen IMPLANTES EXPERIMENTALES para su uso en experimentación.

Scope note: Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
