Do artificial limbs and organs have any harmful effects?

For artificial limbs, there is often irritation or damage to soft tissue where the limb attaches to the existing bones and muscles. Cushioning and a proper fit reduce this problem. For artificial organs, tissue adjacent to the implants must be isolated from the devices by Teflon, plastics, or other non-degradable coatings, as otherwise the body will attack and corrode them. For transplanted organs, this is not possible, so anti-rejection drugs are administered to prevent the immune system from treating the organs as foreign bodies.
