- Additional information
- Research supported by the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in medical devices (EP/K029592/1, £5.66M) and the EPSRC Medical Technologies Innovation and Knowledge Centre (EP/N00941X/1, £3M) describing a novel computer model and simulation approach for prediction of wear of polyethylene in artificial knee joints (with a full set of experimental simulation results to validate the model). The computer model is now being used in industry collaborations with DePuy Synthes to predict wear in support of new product developments and in collaborations with Invibio Ltd to support the development of a new all-polymer knee.
