We do Computational Analysis
ORL is a globally recognized innovator of testing standards and methods with a proven track record of providing comprehensive reports suitable for regulatory submissions, insight into design optimization and data for inclusion in product marketing materials.
ORL has unique expertise in the development of sophisticated computational models rendering realistic metal and polymer component stresses through finite element analysis in addition to state-of-the-art kinematic performance and constraint evaluations.
The computational and physical testing efforts of ORL are further supported through in-house CAD and photographic capabilities.
What We Do
View the ASTM/ISO standards performed by ORL for each joint along with whitepapers presented by ORL on related topics.
Finite Element Analysis
The determination of safety and effectiveness of contemporary total knee replacement systems relies on laboratory evaluation of the stability, structural integrity and durability of these devices. ORL has more than two decades of experience performing sophisticated finite element analyses to determine the surface and subsurface stresses of polymer components utilized in partial and total knee replacement designs for fulfillment of ASTM F2083-11.
Beyond having expertise in custom modeling, ORL continues to present and publish data derived from this advancing evaluative technology and supporting the education of regulatory agency personnel and standards organizations.
