In the present day, application of bionics technology in medicine isacceptable for its advantage. The medical prosthesis can be developedbased on bionics technology and becomes the important tool formanagement of the problem with organ loss or damage. While theuse of prosthesis is useful, the complication due to improper andpoorly controlled use of bionics can be expected. If there is noproper control in quality of usage, unwanted adverse outcome mightbe expected. An important problem that should be mentioned is theinfection. This problem is usually relating to the poor sanitationcontrol of medical prosthesis usage. As noted by Veerachamy et al., 1the bacterial adherence and biofilm formation on medical implants isan important problem to be considered. 1 The prevention is necessaryand the preventive measures start from good biomaterial selection,good prosthetic design and good infection control regarding anyprocedures dealing with medical prosthesis. 2–3 Antibiotic prophylaxisfor the patient undergoing prosthesis surgery is also recommended. 4Nevertheless, the efficacy of the antibiotic prophylaxis in this issue isstill controversial.
