Separation of blood microsamples by exploiting sedimentation at the microscale

Microsample analysis is highly bene cial in blood-based testing where cutting-edge bioanalytical technologies enable the analysis of volumes down to a few tens of microliters. Despite the availability of analytical methods, the di culty in obtaining high-q ...

Microdevice for Sedimentation-based Separation of Blood Microsamples at the Point of Collection

David Forchelet

Laboratory blood testing plays a central role in current diagnostics and therapeutical decisions. Thus, errors have a direct impact on care quality and cost. The majority of errors occur in the pre-analytical phase, when samples are collected, stored and p ...

Smart Knee Prosthesis for Orthopedic Surgery: the implantable and wearable Measurement System

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, David Forchelet, Arash Arami

Recent advances in remote powering and telemetry permitted the use of sensors inside body. A few studies have been already done on smart knee prostheses, but all focused on monitoring the in-vivo contact forces and moments. A smart design, compatible with ...

Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, David Forchelet, Arash Arami, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...
