Mixed Polymers Form Unique One-Piece Medical Implant

DR. MARK YEOMAN, R&D DIRECTOR, CONTINUUM BLUE LTD.

In a rotator cuff LARS (Ligament Replacement and Augmentation System), the implant must be flexible enough to give the patient ease of arm movement without restriction, and at the same time providing sufficient stability for functional use of the arm and shoulder region such as where the patient wants to support or hold an object steady. COMSOL Multiphysics has been very valuable to finding a solution to this project, and its capabilities will certainly be beneficial and a key component to our future.
