MEDICAL DEVICE DEVELOPMENT

THE SCOPE

I worked for Medical Device Development for one 4-month rotation in 2019-2020. With one other employee and our director, we planned and executed a study on knee biomechanics which was carried out over the course of 2 weeks of rigorous testing with our study partner, Olympus-Terumo biomedical. For this project, we built test fixtures to hold cadaver knees and determine the stability of the knee post-operation.

MY ROLE

My range of roles included CAD and fabrication, MatLab programming, LabView programming, Northern Digital optical tracking, cadaver screening and analysis, pilot testing on cadaver and sawbones knees, and technical protocol writing. I am authoring several papers from this study which will be submitted for peer review shortly.
