Medical
Hip Joint Implant Socket Wear Analysis
Key Features
• Noncontact, nondestructive, metrology.
• Can help reduce risk of failure.
• Systems available to measure surface form, waviness or texture.
An aging population, greater demand for a better quality of life and health care cost containment all drive the medical device market. ZYGO products offer a unique feature set that can potentially reduce medical device risk of failure and increase your competitive advantage.
Biocompatibility, resistance to blood clotting and bacterial colonization, and uncomplicated healing, can be driven by device surface texture. ZYGO's NewView™ Series of profilers measures surface texture within seconds, with no special part preparation.
Joint implants are sensitive to long-term wear, which is a function of both surface texture and surface form. ZYGO's interferometer systems are the world standard for 3D noncontact form measurement. Again, with no special part preparation.
Compare ZYGO's features to traditional surface and form tools that contact the surface, and are slow, labor intensive, and lack critical 3D maps of the surface. The ZYGO advantage is clear.
