Zillen, Eva (author), van der Windt, B. (author), Vallery, H. (author), Smit, G. (author)Background: Pneumatic actuators are widely used in applications like (medical) robots, or prostheses. Pneumatic actuators require a complex manufacturing process and are produced in standardized dimensions to reduce costs. Over the last decade 3D-printing has emerged as a cost-effective and efficient production method in medical applications....journal article 2024

Krinis, S.L.L. (author), Chadwell, Alix (author), Kenney, Laurence (author), Smit, G. (author)Introduction<br/><br/>The Delft Self-Grasping Hand (SGH) is an adjustable passive hand prosthesis that relies on wrist flexion to adjust the aperture of its grasp. The mechanism requires engagement of the contralateral hand meaning that hand is not available for other tasks. A commercialised version of this prosthesis, known as the mHand Adapt,...journal article 2024

Smit, Thijs (author), Koppen, S. (author), Ferguson, Stephen J. (author), Helgason, Benedikt (author)A promising new treatment for large and complex bone defects is to implant specifically designed and additively manufactured synthetic bone scaffolds. Optimizing the scaffold design can potentially improve bone in-growth and prevent under- and over-loading of the adjacent tissue. This study aims to optimize synthetic bone scaffolds over...journal article 2023

Their synthesis depends on the availability of suitable hydroxy fatty acid precursors. Three short unspecific peroxygenases were identified that selectively hydroxylate the C4 and C5 positions of C8-C12 fatty acids to yield after lactonization the corresponding γ- and δ-lactones....journal article 2023
