MSc Assignment – design of a passive contact force based steering shaft for the ASPASIA Hydrogel applicator

Background Within the ASPASIA project we aim the development of new technology for the repair of cartilage damage (tear) immediately after a sports injury. The concept is to use an intelligent syringe that allows early treatment directly after the moment of trauma, which will prevent more invasive surgery and potentially prevents further erosion of the […]

Msc Assignment – Detecting and mapping the location of an instrument passing through the ankle joint

Background The ankle joint is one of the common locations for osteochondral defects (OCDs), which is damage of articular cartilage and possibly subchondral bone. If OCDs are left untreated, there is a potential risk of developing early osteoarthritis. Therefore, early detection and treatment of OCDs is highly important. We are currently designing a minimally invasive […]
