Leeds University is at the forefront of research into implant technology and that research is just about to take a big leap forward in the spinal injuries sphere. A new laboratory, the Frank Parkinson tissue engineering laboratory, has just opened at Leeds University. It contains what is believed to be the world’s first simulator capable…
Feb 11, 2009 Following the successful introduction of the spinal implant wear simulator, their first fully electro-mechanical simulator, Prosim have now committed to a development path that will bring about the introduction of fully electro-mechanical wear simulators for the testing of knee and hip implants. Such systems will also be made available for the testing…
Feb 11, 2009 In order to capitalise on the potential of the Chinese orthopaedic market and its growing requirement for testing equipment to ensure that international testing standards are upheld, Prosim has appointed Gaitech. The Prosim business has been built on the back of its relationship with Professor John Fisher’s team at Leeds University, over…
Feb 11, 2012 Imagine a wear simulator that can be used for the wear testing of hip, knee and spinal implants up to and beyond their respective ISO standards; that can deliver micro-separation and deep knee bending; that can be used for the wear testing of other joints such as ankles, fingers, shoulders, etc; and…
Feb 11, 2012 With the completion of the design and development of the Single Station Universal Joint Wear Simulator, Simulation Solutions is now able to offer a complete portfolio of electromechanical wear and friction simulators for the extensive wear testing of orthopaedic implants. The phased replacement of the previous range of pneumatic wear simulators with…
