“…The model was generated by importing the computer aided design (in STL formats). More details on the design and development of the model is reported elsewhere [3]. The tracks generated by any elements of femoral component were mapped on the patella component.…”

“…Experimental work is robust, however, it is time consuming and costly [1,2]. The experimental investigations of kinematics for artificial patella femoral joint replacements for new samples and samples after 15 million cycles took more than 15 months to complete [3]. On the other hand, computational modelling is not costly and explains quasi-static conditions of any interactions, however, requires validation with the experiments [3].…”

“…The same kinematics generated using multi-body dynamic simulations took 2 hours. The kinematics generated using the multi-body dynamic simulations were validated with experimental methods [3]. This paper outlines the two methods (namely computational and experimental) for understanding surface to surface interactions at macro and micro scales.…”

Tribology is an important factor (among other factors) during biological interactions of devices and tissues. The paper discusses how new computational and experimental methods can be used to understand and improve the design and development of medical devices at macro and micro scales to sustain life beyond 50 years. We have used pre-clinical experiments and computational methods to understand interactions between orthopaedic implants at the macro scale. The computational model has been validated with experiments. Now this computational model can predict damage in implants for different patients. One such application was successfully tried and tested in collaboration with University National Autonomous Mexico. This methodology can be used in future to design patient specific, affordable (using 3D printing) and robust implants which will be useful for developing countries like Vietnam, India and Mexico. Improvement of catheter designs is important to reduce damage to the internal tissues while being used for cardiovascular problems. We are developing new experimental techniques (in micro scale) that can be used to understand the interaction of cells with the catheter material. These will help reduce the hospital costs incurred during longer stay of the patients admitted for cardiovascular related problems.
