Dartmouth University Biomedical Engineering Center for Orthopedics

We have worked to develop a limb loss and limb preservation registry with Mayo Clinic, the Amputee Coalition, AOPA and other organizations with the goal to make data available which could improve patient outcomes and identify trends in the success or failure of medical devices. As a part of this work, we collaborated with the Dartmouth Biomedical Engineering Center (DBEC) for Orthopedics. DBEC is an academic retrieval laboratory and assesses new technologies and designs for orthopedic medical devices. DBEC exists as a sentinel in the effort to detect device failures prior to widespread harm to patients.
