Pega Medical is a medical devices manufacturer dedicated to pediatric orthopaedics. Two of Pega Medical'sproducts are the Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System (FD) and the Simple Locking IntraMedullary System(SLIM) which are a self-extending rod designed to correct deformities and a pin designed to create a stablefixation in long bones respectively. During surgery, as the anatomy of every patient differs, the implants are cutat various lengths to get the best fits as possible.Currently, when implanting the FD, the female component is cut intra-operatively with a diamond-coatedcutting disc and de-burred with a de-burring tool. The male implant is cut in-situ with a specially designedcutter. In the case of the SLIM, the hospitals are provided with implants of different lengths and diameters thatsurgeons use as-is in surgery. In order to cover all the cases, this method requires surgeons to have many sets ofimplant ordered and prepared for every intervention and therefore increases the cost of the interventions.To eliminate the need to have many lengths available during every surgery, a standard length implant could beused along with a cutting device. This project consists in the conception of this cutting device and will berealized through three main phases that are the design and fabrication, the testing and validation and thepreparation for manufacturing the device. The benefits that this project will bring are the cost reductions forthe fixation system, but also for the time saved during the interventions and for the simpler inventorymanagement. Moreover, Pega will benefit of our expertise and the PIs lab will benefit of an industrialpartnership.

Pega Medical 是一家致力于小儿骨科的医疗器械制造商。 Pega Medical 的两款产品是 Fassier-Duval 伸缩式 IM 系统 (FD) 和简单锁定髓内系统 (SLIM)，它们分别是用于矫正畸形的自延伸杆和用于在长骨中形成稳定固定的销钉。在手术过程中，由于每位患者的解剖结构不同，植入物会被切割成不同的长度，以尽可能获得最佳的贴合度。目前，在植入 FD 时，会在术中使用金刚石涂层切割盘切割阴性组件并去除毛刺用去毛刺工具。男性植入物是用专门设计的切割器在原位切割的。就 SLIM 而言，医院提供了不同长度和直径的植入物，供外科医生在手术中按原样使用。为了覆盖所有病例，这种方法需要外科医生为每次干预订购和准备多套种植体，因此增加了干预成本。为了消除每次手术期间需要有多种长度的种植体，可以使用标准长度的种植体与切割装置一起使用。该项目包括该切割装置的构想，并将通过三个主要阶段来实现，即设计和制造、测试和验证以及制造装置的准备。该项目将带来的好处是降低固定系统的成本，而且还可以节省干预期间的时间并简化库存管理。此外，Pega 将受益于我们的专业知识，PI 实验室将受益于工业合作伙伴关系。
