An ocular prosthesis, also known as an artificial eye, is not typically categorized under orthopedic devices, as it does not relate to the musculoskeletal system, which is the main focus of orthopedics. Orthopedic devices include a wide range of products designed to treat skeletal disorders or injuries, such as fractures, deformities, and joint problems. These devices encompass implants for hip and knee replacements, spinal devices, trauma fixation products, and orthobiologics, among others.
