APPLICATIONS
Ensuring the highest quality standards is crucial in medical implants, where precise assessment tools are essential for predicting outcomes. Sensofar’s optical systems provide reliable characterization of surface texture, volume, and critical dimensions of medical implants, delivering tailored solutions to meet the specific demands of various applications.
Prosthetics for feet
The design of wedge implants mimics the bone’s natural porosity to accomplish rapid osseointegration. Total porosity is a key metric for assessing implant performance. The S wide fringe projection system is instrumental in accurately imaging the whole implant in a single shot.
We provide the volume calculations using the Volume operator in SensoVIEW, which is then divided by the mass to obtain the total porosity.
Durability of hip implants
The wear behavior of hip implants is closely linked to their surface condition. Measuring the roughness of the top area of acetabular cups provides insights into their wear characteristics and, thus, their durability.
Threads on dental implants
The typical threaded surfaces in dental implants are critical for stability and long-term success. These threads enhance primary contact, improve stability, increase the implant’s surface area, and aid in stress distribution within the bone. Using the S neox Five Axis and Active Illumination Focus Variation technique, we can capture an implant’s complete 3D shape.
Critical dimensions on the threads are analyzed with SensoMAP software, which allows contour extraction from the point cloud data.
