Dezintegrace kostního cementu pomocí anatomické trysky v atmosférických a ponořených podmínkách

Abstract

The thesis deals with the testing of a pulsed water jet using an anatomical nozzle with diameters of d = 0.5 and 0.6 mm in visceral and orthopaedic surgery under atmospheric and submerged conditions. The problems that accompany the current technology are presented in the introduction. New methods for addressing these issues are also outlined. These new methods are then compared in order to find the most appropriate technology to address the problem of visceral and orthopaedic surgery. In our research, pulsed waterjet technology carries undeniable advantages. Furthermore, this technology is investigated, based on already available publications, for the possibility of its use in bone cement disintegration, during revision orthopaedic procedures. Based on the identified advantages and disadvantages of this technology, a new anatomical nozzle is designed to be used for minimally invasive procedures. To approximate the real-world environment during these procedures, the nozzle is investigated under both atmospheric and submerged conditions.
