Research support platforms

Objectives and lines of research

STUDY OF BIOMATERIALS (ULTRA HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE, POLY-ETHER-ETHER-KETONE, TANTALUM, ETC.
– Study of friction and characterisation of wear in prostheses made of UHMWPE and PEEK. The aim is to improve the design of the prostheses to increase their durability
– Dental implants
– Technological processes of micromachining and additive manufacturing applied to the production of prostheses

BIOMEDICAL DEVICE DESIGNS
– Joint rehabilitation devices. Passive gymnastics
– Venous return device for bedridden patients with almost no mobility
– Design of facilities and equipment adapted to people with a low degree of mobility
