Lab Facilities

In this space, we work together with our surgeon collaborators to design new operations and evalute implant systems. Located on the 2nd Floor of UCLA's Rehabiliation Center, this unique space is designed to replicate the feel and resources of an operating room. We also use this space to prepare specimens for biomechanical testing.

In this space, we perform mechanical testing of cadaveric specimens and implant samples. Located on the 2nd Floor of UCLA's Rehabiliation Center, immediately adjacent our Surgical Innovation Suite, this room is equipped with an industrial robotic manipulator arm (KUKA). The KUKA arm is programmed to reproduce full six degree of freedom motion, such as joint kinematics during a gait cycle.
