Calibrated Tensioner For Total Knee Arthroplasty Gap Balancer, Lauren Henigman, Jaypreet Dhanota, Corey Catuara
Biomedical Engineering
The purpose of this project was to design a device that interfaces with the previously created gap balancer to simultaneously measure the gap between the femur and tibia and measure the tension in the ligaments of the knee. First, we met with Dr. Delagrammaticas to outline the key customer requirements: we wanted the device to be precise, sterilizable, reliable, and compatible with the gap balancer. Based on the customer requirements, we outlined the specifications that would drive our design and testing, which included precision, ease of use, size, and material properties. The design process began by using a morphology to …

The purpose of our project is to find a reliable method of Subclinical Atherosclerosis detection by measuring the pressure drop across an artery. This model is intended to display how a pressure change correlates with arterial shear rate, and how a decrease in shear rate is ultimately related to atherosclerosis wherein early detection could prove life saving for millions of patients worldwide.
