Blinking Orbital Prosthesis: The ETM

This video displays a blinking orbital prosthesis model using the Embedded Tension Mechanism (ETM) that is synchronized to the blink of a healthy eye. It was designed at the University of Wisconsin -- Madison by a team of undergraduate biomedical engineering students consisting of Michael Konrath, Blake Marzella, Justin Cacciatore, Bret Olson, Jeff Groskopf and Michael Musser in collaboration with Gregory G. Gion, MMS, CCA of Medical Arts Prosthetics in Madison, WI. Contact Michael Konrath at mjkonrath@wisc.edu or read our article in the International Journal of Anaplastology to learn more.
