The incredible electronic implant enabled patients to tell the time, read their names and even see their loved ones smile for the first time.

But in a medical breakthrough, he has been fitted with a battery-powered electronic implant at the base of his spine.

Scientists have moved closer to restoring the sight of the blind by using an electronic implant that directly stimulates the brain.

A series of modifications and electronic implants allow her to use a sophisticated computer to control another body by remote control.

Her sensory input, metabolism and reflexes are also artificially heightened by means of electronic implants and exotic forms of advanced surgeries and other medical procedures.

It may just be a coincidence that she admitted her feelings towards you had altered after she had the implant fitted.

He had an operation to fit the implants when he was just a year old.

He's had cochlear implants fitted to help.

Several weeks before this live programme airs a group of profoundly deaf people had cochlear implants fitted.

One month ago, a group of profoundly deaf people had a cochlear implant fitted to stimulate the inner ear and enable them to hear.

He comes to the conclusion that they could easily tamper with the file in order to hide any procedure of memory implant.

The film takes place in a setting where memory implants make it possible to record entire lives.

During the mutation process, their original brain patterns and memories were buried under false memory implants of artificial backgrounds.

All imported birds will have to be individually identifiable through a leg-ring or microchip implant.

The species are marked either by open/closed leg-band or by microchip implant.

Each animal has a subdermal tracking microchip implant.

A microchip implanted in the wheel transmits the findings to the satellite navigation screen every few minutes.

Think of this, and think of having a microchip implanted into your hand.

A number of clinics which carried out implant surgery have gone out of business.

Tube-shunt surgery or drainage implant surgery involves the placement of a tube or glaucoma valves to facilitate aqueous outflow from the anterior chamber.

In most routine cochlear implant surgeries, any residual hearing will likely be destroyed.

An investigation for ten major trusts showed knee implants were sold to one for 634 and 1,109 to another.

Of its key franchises, knee implants rose by 6 per cent, about double the market rate.

This contains hip and knee implants and last year generated revenues of more than $2.2 billion.

Knee implants fell by 47 per cent and hip implants by 27 per cent.

Revenue from knee implants fell 10.6 per cent in the first quarter and hip implants by 8.6 per cent.

Yesterday he highlighted the difficulty in diagnosis by showing a scan in which his metal implant had caused an area of indecipherable blackness around his right hip.

Eight months after her veneers had been fitted, one tooth came away completely with the veneer, so she had to have a metal implant and crown to replace the tooth.

The technique involves resurfacing an existing hip joint with toughened ceramic instead of the traditional full metal implant.

She then retraces her steps and finds that most of the people she ran into before now have some sort of metal implant.

The process takes five to 10 days from the date of the scan to surgery, compared with six to eight weeks with the typical metal implants.

The authors said that surgical implants of emerging technologies in soldiers' bodies would dramatically improve their capabilities in such environments.

And have those with surgical implants been told of the dangers of space travel?

Experts said recovery specialists will be focused on finding surgical implants, jewellery and personal items which may have survived.

Its work developing products from fluoropolymers has also brought the world longer-lasting guitar strings, non-shredding dental floss, surgical implants and electronic cables used in space exploration.

This involves the surgical reduction, or realignment, of the fracture followed by the implementation of surgical implants to aid in the healing of the fracture.

They can also be used to couple a bio-inert layer on a titanium implant.

The microstructure and high energy surfaces of titanium implants induce its ability to produce angiogenesis during osseointegration.

Grit-blasting, a method analogous to sand blasting, and chemical etching have proven to be successful surface roughening techniques that promote the long-term stability of titanium implants.

Implant supported bridges attach to implant abutments in the same way as a single tooth implant replacement.

He didn't tell me they were raising money for his tooth implants.

Only clinics with certified surgeons are recommended for tooth implants.

Including the enlarged caniniform, there are four teeth implanted in the maxilla, less than other baurusuchids.
