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…
The Prosim Pin-On-Plate Tribometer is a multi-station machine designed for the reliable and repeatable study of the wear of bearing surface materials, providing designers and developers of orthopaedic implants with a cost-effective and accurate means of generating wear of specific bearing surface combinations, under different conditions. https://www.prosim.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Machine-Video-1.mp4 The Pin-On-Plate Tribometer All controlled axes of the…
The Prosim Universal Joint Simulator enables comprehensive testing of shoulder, elbow, and ankle joint prostheses, as well as natural human and porcine joints. It also supports detailed wear and friction testing for single knee, hip, and lumbar spinal joint prostheses and corresponding biological specimens. The Six Axis Universal Joint Simulator ISO 14242-1 – Wear of…
The design of a spine simulator able to accurately test both cervical and lumbar total intervertebral disc replacements (TDRs hereafter) presents significant challenges, as the two TDRs are exposed to very different axial loads, by more than a factor of 10. The Spine Wear Simulator The Prosim Spine Wear Simulator was designed and developed with…
The mobility of the knee joint presents significant problems for effective and rigorous in-vivo testing. Working together with Biomet, the Prosim Knee Wear Simulator (Independent Stations) was designed and developed to give full force and displacement control for individual stations, to enable each one to run autonomously. Knee Wear Simulator The key objectives when developing…
Designed and developed in response to the growing demand for ever more aggressive adverse testing hip implants. The Hip Implant Wear Simulator Working together with CRITT-MDTR, the independent French wear testing house, the Prosim Hip Wear Simulator was developed with a number of key objectives in mind: Design and build a simulator that fully meets…
