Custom Testing

We have the knowledge and equipment needed to create customized testing environments. After determining the testing that needs to be done for your study or project, we can design and create customized fixtures and jigs to complete the testing you require. Here are some examples of past custom designs.听

  1. Custom-made handheld device for intervertebral disc profilometry pressure measurements

  2. Custom set-up for aligning the pullout direction to be parallel to the ACL tunnel. This is for a simple ACL pullout (ACL substitute semitendinosus and gracilis tendons) comparing three supplemental fixation methods.

  3. Custom setup to create an ulno-triquetral (UT) ligament tear in fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens. The UT ligament tear is subsequently repaired and the loading is reapplied to evaluate the load tolerated on the repaired UT ligament in different movements of flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation of the wrist.
