This procedure was completed by placing one
1/2 inch section of rayon gauze at the apex of each
bar, and soaking the gauze with the disinfectant
to saturate the material.
When designing a medical device, selecting a material that will last and perform well under harsh conditions
has never been tougher.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Figure 7: Basic grip architectures
Ergonomic Grip Design Guide 7
CONTOURING involves shaping the grip to
complement the architecture and intuitively guide
the user to the proper posture and touchpoints.
The direction of forces will help to shape the
form and even manufacturing details of the grip.
These models were meshed in
finite element analysis (FEA) software to define the
shape of the object.

According to AxioMed COO Jim Kuras,
“The challenge was to assure the polymer portion of the device would maintain
its load-bearing properties without undergoing an excessive permanent change in
shape, as well as to optimize and characterize the polymer-to-titanium bond.”

What continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are, and how they differ from other composite materials
These materials can be formed into multi-ply laminates to offer off-axis performance, post-molded into complex shapes, and overmolded with traditional thermoplastics to provide localized reinforcement in specific part locations.
The flexural modulus indicates a material’s resistance to bending.
