Three-Dimensional Printing in Combined Cartesian and Curvilinear Coordinates
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)A three-dimensional (3D) printing technology that facilitates continuous printing along a combination of Cartesian and curvilinear coordinates, designed for in vivo and in situ bioprinting, is introduced. The combined ... -
On the Design and Testing of an Origami Inspired Nasal Cover: Mitigating Aerosol Risks During Endoscopic Sinus Procedures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Aerosols generated during endoscopic sinus procedures present a concern to the health and safety of healthcare personnel, especially with the presence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The purpose of this study is to ... -
Accuracy of an Apparatus for Measuring Glenoid Baseplate Micromotion in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is used to treat patients with cuff tear arthropathy. Loosening remains to be one of the principal modes of implant failure and the main complication leading to revision. Excess micromotion ... -
Performance and Sensitivity Analysis of an Automated X-Ray Based Total Knee Replacement Mass-Customization Pipeline
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)The objective of this study was to outline a fully automated, X-ray-based, mass-customization pipeline for knee replacement surgery, thoroughly evaluate its robustness across a range of demographics, and quantify necessary ... -
Design, Improvement and Evaluation of a Novel In Situ Implanted Bionic Artificial Anal Sphincter
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Artificial anal sphincter has gradually become an emerging means of treating anal incontinence. However, most of the systems cannot be implanted in the human body for a long time due to insufficient reliability. Therefore, ... -
Design and Functionality of a Multilumen Thoracic Access Port for Pericardial Access Under Direct Visualization
