为了在COVID-19封锁期间推进研究，工程团队与临床研究小组合作设计了一种新型远程方法来创建临床标准经桡动脉旁路插座。工程团队招募了两名身体健全的参与者，在参与者的肢体上标记感兴趣的区域，并用高清光学扫描仪捕获肢体几何形状和电极部位。对所得3D扫描进行修改，以使电极部位和感兴趣区域凹陷并具有触觉。模型按比例3D打印，并张贴到临床团队以制造插座。使用了改进的层压工艺，包括石膏铸造和手工矫正模型。3D打印模型的凹陷区域用于指导该过程。将旁路插座返回给工程团队进行测试。使用临床电极执行简单的肌电图（EMG）跟踪任务，以验证皮肤电极接触和对齐。本文演示了一种经过验证的远程创建经桡动脉旁路套接字的方法。随着进一步的研究，有可能将这种方法推广到标准插座配件。
To enable the progression of research during the COVID-19 lockdown, a novel remote method of creating clinical standard trans-radial bypass sockets was devised as a collaboration between an engineering team and a clinical research group. The engineering team recruited two able-bodied participants, marked areas of interest on the participant’s limb and captured limb geometry and electrode sites with a high definition optical scanner. The resulting 3D scan was modified to make electrode sites and areas of interest recessed and tactile. Models were 3D printed to scale and posted to the clinical team to manufacture the sockets. A modified lamination process was used, comprising plaster casting and rectifiying the model by hand. The recessed areas of the 3D printed model were used to guide the process. The bypass sockets were returned to the engineering team for testing. A simple electromyography (EMG) tracking task was performed using clinical electrodes to validate the skin-electrode contact and alignment. This paper demonstrates a validated method for remotely creating transradial bypass sockets. There is potential to extrapolate this method to standard socket fittings with further research.
