| Research Abstract |
This study evaluated clinical functions of percutaneous devices, mechanical sensors and telemetry systems.
(percutaneous devices)
Two approaches for the percutaneous device were performed using surface modification of a polymer and in-situ treatment of skin. Type 1 collagen was covalently immobilized on to the specimen and percutaneously implanted in 2-3 kg Japanese white rabbits. Epidermal downgrowth was reduced by the collagen immobilization. However, the skin was exfoliated from all implants within 36 weeks after implantation, irrespective of collagen immobilization.
(mechanical sensors and telemetry systems)
Telemetric measurement was performed for compressive load in articular cartilage and tensile strain in anterior cruciate ligament. Higher rate of stress relaxation was observed for intra-articular measurement compared with whole joint measurement. Energy-supply device for these system is now under manufacturing.
