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 originates from the programme of work done in the Life Long Joint FP7 Project, which sought to push the mechanical envelope of adverse wear testing of hip implants much further than it had gone before, drawing on the most up-to-date biomechanical data available. The Hip Implant Wear Simulator Using the…
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…
