Laboratory tests carried out by means of body environment simulators have proved to be very important for the evaluation of endoprostheses potentially useful for implantation. The present paper examines the problems connected with the design of such a simulator. The results obtained with an initial, very primitive simulator concerning the outlines of the phenomena of wear, corrosion, and friction and some wear properties of commercially available hip endoprostheses are presented. From these results, the motivation that led to the design of a more advanced simulator is presented. This latter simulator is also described.
通过人体环境模拟器进行的实验室测试已被证明对于评估可能适用于植入的内置假体非常重要。本文研究了与这种模拟器设计相关的问题。介绍了使用最初非常原始的模拟器获得的有关磨损、腐蚀和摩擦现象的概况以及市售髋关节内置假体的一些磨损特性的结果。基于这些结果，阐述了设计更先进模拟器的动机。还对后一种模拟器进行了描述。
