Introduction of the Research Group
The main research focus of the research group is the development of smart medical devices and implants using polymers. Members of the research team have been involved in the development of a number of innovative devices and solutions in collaboration with partners, such as a force-feedback laparoscopic device, wear-reduced elbow and shoulder implant systems, microfluidics and medical diagnostic devices. We use state-of-the-art tools (polymer and metal 3D printing) in our developments and attach great importance to collaboration with medical partners.
