Significance of Wear Test for Joint Prosthesis
1. The lifetime of the artificial joint, i.e. hip joint, knee joint, shoulder joint and
spine joint etc. is
mainly determined by its wear accumulation;
2. A required testing item of artificial hip
joints in their premarket notification
(FDA,CE etc.);
3. Orthotek joint simulators, which can reproduce
various joint motions, serve as an effective solution
to wear tests for joint prosthesis.
Features
1. In accordance with ISO, ASTM
2. Hip joint motions as FE, AA, IER can be
reproduced;
3. Highly integrated system, easy to operate, performing various experiment with parameter settings ;
4. Supporting tests for different types of artificial joints, i.e. hip joint, knee joint, spine joint etc.;
5. Provision of a variety of testing data including wear accumulation, abrasive particle, which agree well with the clinical experimental findings.
