SECTI0N AIMPLANTSHearts can be replaced, but only with a donation from anotherhuman being. Luckily, less vital parts can be strengthenedor supplanted by artificial components designed to produceminimal reaction from the host. The exception in the followingseries of stories is a miniature inertial unit that may beworn on the outside of the body, but the remainder are variationson the theme of better materials for biocompatibility,based on modifying the surface and structural characteristicsof the implantable object.1. A vest fitted with sensors that can provide tactile feedbacksignals to persons with balance disorders.2. Stronger material components for hip replacementsurgery.3. Lightweight orthotics for knee and leg braces.4. An ion-beam method for increasing battery lifetimes forpacemakers, meaning fewer surgeries.5. Inserts to stabilize the spine to ameliorate the pain of traumaor degenerative disease.
