The EndoLab® Spine Simulator
EndoLab® started wear testing of spinal disc implants in 2001. Based on this experience, a spinal disc simulator has been developed and continuously improved.
The latest model type C6/2-04 offers six wear stations plus two reference stations. All motions and loads a computer generated and can be defined by the user.
Routine tests are performed according to ISO 18192-1.
Individual load blocks, simulating different in-vivo activities can be combined by the user. Different types of implants (cervical, lumbar) as well as testing of hip implants (optional) is covered by type C6/2-04.
Reduced set-up time has been achieved by a build-in controller panel. An external computer connected to the system selects displays and records the machine and station parameters.
