In this example, challenges include sealing, corrosion resistance, and temperature control of heated and circulated saline, as well as accurately simulating a bio-mechanical action that had yet to be effectively reproduced. Other features include network connectivity, pressure sensing and stepper motor control of two independent banks of 16 test samples, as well as LabView programming for all controls and user interface.
As a testament to ITE's innovation throughout the product development process, we were instrumental in the original development of this unique implant product that saves surgeons' time, and we invented the testing technology and instrument used to aid its refinement and quality assurance.
