Acquisition of an Orthopaedic Bearing Testing System

9601859 LaBerge这项学术研究基础设施奖为购买矫形外科轴承表面研究的测试系统提供部分支持。该系统由膝关节模拟器和非接触式表面轮廓仪组成。膝关节模拟器允许同时对多达六个关节的植入性能进行台式评估。非接触式表面轮廓仪将用于重建手术。这些设备将用于整形外科材料和摩擦学的互动学术研究项目，本科生和研究生都参与其中。***

9601859 LaBerge This Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) award provides partial support for the purchase of a testing system for the study of orthopaedic bearing surfaces. The system consists of a knee joint simulator permits the non-contact surface profilometer. The knee joint simulator permits the simultaneous bench assessment of implant performance of up to six joints. The non-contact surface profilometer will be used in reconstructive surgery. The equipment will be used in an interactive academic research program in orthopedic materials and tribology where both undergraduate and graduate students are involved. ***
