Acquisition of an Orthopaedic Bearing Testing System

9601859 LaBerge该学术研究基础设施（ARI）奖项为购买用于骨科关节面研究的测试系统提供部分支持。 该系统由一个膝关节模拟器允许非接触表面轮廓仪。 膝关节模拟器允许同时对多达6个关节的植入物性能进行台架评估。 非接触式表面轮廓仪将用于重建手术。 该设备将用于骨科材料和摩擦学的交互式学术研究项目，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. ***
