Medical & Biomechanics

Measure what you cannot touch

Non-contact full-field strain for implants, soft tissue, and device submissions where contact gauges would distort the response

Submission ready
Non-contact
No specimen damage
Full-field
Every surface point
Automated
Multi-specimen batches

The Problem

Strain gauges will not bond to living tissue, and contact extensometers restrict the very motion you are trying to measure. Point sensors miss the heterogeneity that defines biological response.

The Solution

Three ways Trilion supports medical R&D

Implant & Prosthetic Testing

Full-field strain on orthopedic, spinal, dental, and cardiovascular devices for FDA submissions.

Soft Tissue

Measure skin, tendon, cartilage, and engineered constructs without contact or bonding.

Motion & Gait

Dense 3D surface kinematics beyond what marker-based tracking can resolve.

Applications

3D rendered hip implant with a strain colormap on the implant neck inside an acetabular cup.
Full-field strain on a hip implant neck shows where load transfers between femoral stem and cup. ARAMIS gives implant designers the same view on physical test articles.
ARAMIS displacement vectors along a runners carbon-fiber prosthetic blade on a treadmill.
ARAMIS captures how a prosthetic running blade flexes and rebounds during stance, frame by frame.

Lab throughput

“Automation Suite standardizes multi-specimen protocols, eliminating operator variability across large study batches.”

Deployed in device R&D and university biomechanics labs
