Bionic technologies for restorative medicine. (A) Cochlear implant [18]. (B) AbioCor self-contained replacement heart [1]. (C) Powered ankle-foot prosthetic controlled by a neuromuscular model [19]. (D) Epiretinal, subretinal, and suprachoroidal implants [21]. (E) Electronic dura mater, “e-dura,” tailored for the spinal cord [22]. (F) A skin-inspired digital mechanoreceptor, where the image shows a model hand with DiTact sensors on the fingertips connected with stretchable interconnects [12].
