Abstract:
A system for assessing the distribution of shear forces at fixation points on a textile-based implant includes a tissue model, a load simulation device, and an analysis system. The tissue model includes an upper surface defining an opening therethrough and a fixation support configured to secure a textile-based implant against the upper surface at a plurality of fixation points defined along a plane of the upper surface. The load simulation device is configured to apply a load to a textile-based implant that is secured to the tissue model. A marker is disposed on the fixation support at one or more of the plurality of fixation points. The analysis system is configured to calculate a shear force vector at each of the fixation points where a marker is disposed in response to the load applied by the load simulation device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of measuring shear forces distribution at fixation points of a textile-based implant, the method comprising:\n securing a textile-based implant to a fixation support of a tissue model to create at least two fixation points defined along a plane of an upper surface of the tissue model; placing at least one marker on the fixation support at one or more of the at least two fixation points; subjecting the textile-based implant to a load; and measuring the displacement of the at least one marker and calculating a shear force vector at each of the one or more of the at least two fixation points where the at least one marker is disposed in response to the load.
