Optical Prisms
The characteristics of optical prisms, such as those shown in the image, are as follows:
Geometric Shape: A prism is a transparent body bounded by two non-parallel plane faces, called refracting faces, and a base. The prisms in the image are individual prisms, often used in ophthalmology.
Light Deflection: The main characteristic of a prism is its ability to deflect light. When a light ray passes through a prism, it is deflected toward the base of the prism.
Chromatic Dispersion: Due to the variation in the refractive index of the prism material depending on the wavelength of light, a prism can disperse white light into its spectral colors (dispersion phenomenon).
Total Internal Reflection: In certain configurations, prisms can use total internal reflection to deflect light with minimal loss, often more effectively than traditional mirrors.
Use in Ophthalmology: Prisms are commonly used in ophthalmology to correct binocular vision problems such as diplopia (double vision) or symptomatic heterophoria by shifting the image to match the eye’s position.
Prismatic Power: The power of a prism is measured in prism diopters (Δ) and indicates the prism’s ability to deflect light. The higher the diopter value, the greater the deviation.

Orthopedic Plate and Screw
Characteristics of Orthopedic Plates and Screws
Orthopedic plates and screws, like the ones pictured, are medical devices used in surgery to stabilize fractures and promote bone healing.
Their main characteristics are as follows:
Material: They are generally made of stainless steel or titanium alloys (such as Ti-6Al-4V), chosen for their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and strength. Titanium is often preferred for its light weight and lower modulus of elasticity, which can reduce the stress shielding effect on the surrounding bone compared to stainless steel.
Biocompatibility: The materials used are selected to be well tolerated by the human body, thus minimizing the risk of rejection or allergies.
Design:
Plates: These act as internal splints, providing a framework for fixation of bone fragments and facilitating anatomical fracture reduction. They can have specific designs, such as locking compression plates (LCPs) with combination holes for different types of screws.
Screws: These are designed to secure the plates to the bone and can vary in diameter, length, and thread type (cortical for dense bone, cortico-cancellar for less dense bone) depending on the anatomical area and bone characteristics. Screws are also available in different types, such as malleolar, cortical, and cancellous screws.
Function: They are used for internal fixation of fractures, correction of deformities, and support of bone healing. They provide the necessary stability during the healing process.
Strength and Durability: The materials chosen give the implants high mechanical strength to withstand the stresses exerted on the bone during healing and ensure long-lasting fixation.
Orthopedic Splints
The object in the image is an orthopedic splint, likely for the wrist and/or hand, and its main characteristics are:
Immobilization and Support: It is designed to maintain and immobilize a portion of the upper limb (wrist, hand, fingers) in a neutral or therapeutic position, aiding in healing or pain relief.
Material and Comfort: Made of a soft and potentially thermoformable material to adapt to the user’s morphology, it may include padded elements for comfort, such as fabric linings (e.g., jersey).
Closure System: It uses hook-and-loop straps (Velcro) for easy closure, a secure fit, and complete support of the limb.
Adaptability: Some splints of this type can be thermoformed for a precise fit and can be cut to fit the user’s specific morphology.
Function: It is used for various conditions such as sprains, fractures, tendonitis, or osteoarthritis (such as rhizarthrosis of the thumb), providing support and compression.
