Artificially produced membranes, such as semipermeable membranes used in artificial kidney dialysis (RENAL DIALYSIS), monomolecular and bimolecular membranes used as models to simulate biological CELL MEMBRANES. These membranes are also used in the process of GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION
Devices intended to replace non-functioning organs. They may be temporary or permanent. Since they are intended always to function as the natural organs they are replacing, they should be differentiated from PROSTHESES AND IMPLANTS and specific types of prostheses which, though also replacements for body parts, are frequently cosmetic (EYE, ARTIFICIAL) as well as functional (ARTIFICIAL LIMBS)

A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external)

Here are entered works on plant growing media which do not contain natural soils. Works on growing media which include both artificial media and natural soils are entered under Plant growing media. Works on natural soils are entered under Soils. Works on growing media for potted plants are entered under Potting soils --subdivision Artificial growing media under plants and groups of plants, e.g. Cucumbers--Artificial growing media
