Ortho-POD - Description
The AMTI Ortho-POD is a multi-directional pin-on-disc machine capable of replicating the complex motions essential for accurately simulating the in vivo wear of polyethylene joint implants. Research has demonstrated that the wear rate of certain polymers, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, is highly dependent on the "cross-shear" motions that occur between the mating components of prostheses. Unidirectional motion strain-hardens polyethylene, gradually increasing its integrity along the established path.
