Design of Customized Mouthguards with Superior Protection Using Digital-Based Technologies and Impact Tests
Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Martin Broome
Background In contact sports, an impact on the jaw can generate destructive stress on the tooth-bone system. Mouthguards can be beneficial in reducing the injury risk by changing the dynamics of the trauma. The material properties of mouthguards and their ...
Springer2024Customized modular multi-material mouthguard and method of making the same
Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Martin Broome
There is described a mouthguard comprising an externally exposed impact protective region defined by a first material property and configured to cover a front tooth, an internally exposed occlusional cushioning region defined by a second material property ...
2024Investigating neural resource allocation in the sensorimotor control of extra limbs
The rise of robotic body augmentation brings forth new developments that will transform robotics, human-machine interaction, and wearable electronics. Extra robotic limbs, although building upon restorative technologies, bring their own set of challenges i ...
EPFL2024Modeling, fabrication and validation of 3D neural interfaces for peripheral nerves and brain organoids
This thesis presents an extensive exploration of neuroelectronic interfaces, focusing on microfabrication, in silico modeling, and their applications in designing and fabricating devices for neural interfacing. The research encompasses both peripheral nerv ...
EPFL2024Biodegradable Implantable Microsystems
Biodegradable implanted devices and microsystems are candidates to fulfill the utmost required in-vivo assistance for a variety of envisioned bio-medical health care applications. They range from monitoring biomarkers, recording, and stimulation, to local ...
IEEE2023A guide to preclinical evaluation of hydrogel-based devices for treatment of cartilage lesions
Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo
The drive to develop cartilage implants for the treatment of major defects in the musculoskeletal sys-tem has resulted in a major research thrust towards developing biomaterial devices for cartilage repair. Investigational devices for the restoration of ar ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2023Integrated Electronics for Deep Implants to Remotely Monitor Hemodynamics
The integration of technology in the medical field has greatly improved accuracy in diagnoses, thus leading to more effective treatments. Wearable and implantable medical devices offer great potential for remote patient monitoring, particularly for heart f ...
EPFL2023Revealing the complexity of ultra-soft hydrogel re-swelling inside the brain
Stéphanie Lacour, John Martin Kolinski, Outman Akouissi, Olivier Didier Christian Rizzo, Michael Shur
The brain is an ultra-soft viscoelastic matrix. Sub-kPa hydrogels match the brain's mechanical properties but are challenging to manipulate in an implantable format. We propose a simple fabrication and processing sequence, consisting of de-hydration, patte ...
2023Compliance-matching vascular grafts with personalization potential
Aortic diseases are characterized by dire prognosis and inadequate diagnosis, owing to their insidious yet lethal nature. Aortopathies, namely aortic aneurysms and dissections, along with certain congenital diseases, might necessitate surgical replacement ...
EPFL2023Improving hand prosthesis control with advanced single-finger proportional decoding and robotic shared control
Myoelectric prostheses allow users to recover lost functionality by controlling a robotic device with their remaining muscle activity. Commercial devices usually use a two-recording-channel system placed on specific muscles to control a single degree of fr ...
