Project team - Achieve the goal of the project
Patients - Who will apply for knee replacement surgery
Shadow team - Review and keep track of project progress
Medical students - Provide feedbacks on project
What they require from us are ...
-
Cost
-
​This should be done within the given budget.
-
-
Safety
-
The product must be biocompatible and operate within safety limits.
-
The clamp shall not break during sterilizing.
-
-
Technical
-
​The clamp can lift the leg up and measuring forces.
-
The functions of this clamp can cooperate with the existing control system (eg. Stryker surgery assisted robot).
-
It should be similar to existing surgical clamps for surgeons to pick up and use quickly.
-
-
Stability
-
Modelling method to assess stress and strain distributions of the designed clamp.
-
-
Material
-
The prototype must be printed in Titanium.
