EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Prosthetic Woman: Artwork of Artificial Implants" showcases the intricate world of prostheses and artificial implants. The image depicts a woman's body adorned with an array of cutting-edge advancements in medical technology. On the left side, we can observe various metal joints that have been seamlessly integrated into her shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, hip, knee, ankle, and toe. These remarkable replacements enable individuals to regain mobility and functionality in their limbs. Moving towards the right side of the artwork, we encounter an assortment of pins, screws, plates, and nails used for repairing fractures. Additionally, carbon fiber knee ligaments provide enhanced stability during movement. The artist has also highlighted silicone reshaping techniques employed in reconstructive surgery by showcasing alterations made to the nose, chin & breasts. Replacement valves within her heart are visible alongside a pacemaker discreetly positioned on her left shoulder. Notably present are Dacron tubes serving as substitutes for both abdominal artery and leg artery at her left side. A metal voice box and plastic windpipe demonstrate advancements in laryngeal reconstruction while an artificial bladder sphincter aids those with urinary control issues. Finally showcased is a contraceptive implant located on her right upper arm - emphasizing how medical innovations extend beyond physical disabilities alone. This thought-provoking artwork from Science Photo Library encapsulates the intersection between artistry and medicine while highlighting society's ongoing pursuit of enhancing human potential through innovative prosthetic devices.
