Medical implants, prosthetics, and biotechnology have revolutionized medicine. These tools have restored mobility and function in patients who would have had no options before their invention. However, the creation and use of medical devices comes with risks. Competitive device manufacturers focus on selling their products before or without doing extensive trials to ensure their devices are safe for public use. This system can lead to patients suffering unintended consequences of the medical devices in their bodies. When this happens, the patient must deal with pain, temporary or permanent bodily injury, the cost and difficult recovery of a subsequent surgery, wages lost while they cannot work, and more.
