Project

Design and development of a patient-specific CMC1 joint prosthesis

During this research project, a novel prosthesis for the first carpometacarpal joint will be developed by CADskills bv. By researching the design and materials of this innovative device, its functionality and safety will be optimized. We want to explore the possibility of making the design anatomically accurate and patient-specific, as opposed to existing prostheses on the market, in order to resolve occurring issues with these devices.
