Additional Information for Carpal Prosthesis Implant
Carpal Prosthesis Implants are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to replace or repair damaged or diseased carpal bones in the wrist. The carpal bones are a group of small bones located in the wrist that allow for movement and stability of the hand.
Carpal Prosthesis Implants are typically made of biocompatible materials such as metal alloys or ceramic materials. They are designed to mimic the natural structure and function of the carpal bones, providing support and stability to the wrist joint.
These implants are used in cases where conservative treatments, such as medication or physical therapy, have failed to alleviate wrist pain or restore normal function. They are commonly used in patients with conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or traumatic injuries to the wrist.
The implantation procedure involves removing the damaged or diseased carpal bones and replacing them with the prosthetic implant. The surgeon will carefully position and secure the implant to ensure proper alignment and stability of the wrist joint.
Carpal Prosthesis Implants are part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies. These supplies are essential for healthcare professionals in performing surgical procedures and providing medical care to patients.
It is important to note that the use of Carpal Prosthesis Implants requires specialized training and expertise. The decision to use these implants should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess the individual patient's condition and determine the most appropriate treatment option.
