Custom Total Knee Arthroplasty Offers the Potential for Superior Functional Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction Compared to Traditional Off-the-Shelf Implants

The shift toward Personalized Knee Replacement is revolutionizing orthopedic surgery, moving past the limitations of standardized, "off-the-shelf" implants. Utilizing advanced imaging like CT scans, surgeons and biomedical engineers now create a custom-made prosthetic implant and patient-specific instrumentation that precisely matches the unique contours and anatomy of an individual's knee joint. This customized approach aims to restore the patient's native joint line, alignment, and natural knee motion, significantly reducing the common dissatisfaction experienced by many patients after conventional knee arthroplasty.

This technology is rooted in the understanding that every knee is structurally unique, and a one-size-fits-all implant often compromises optimal fit and kinematics, leading to residual pain or a "not-quite-right" feeling. By meticulously designing the implant to fit the patient's specific bone geometry, personalized replacement minimizes common issues like implant overhang, which…

Ensuring Personnel, Product, and Environmental Protection: Understanding the Design, Function, and Critical Role of High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filtration in Class II Biological Safety Cabinets for Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories

A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) is a primary containment device essential in clinical and research laboratories for handling biohazardous agents and protecting both the operator and the work materials. Most widely used are Class II BSCs, which achieve this protection through a meticulously balanced system of HEPA-filtered downward laminar airflow (product protection) and inward air flow at the work opening (personnel protection). This filtration effectively traps 99.97% of airborne particles $0.3\ \mu\text{m}$ in diameter, preventing the escape of infectious aerosols.

Orthobiologics encompass biological therapies used to support healing of bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The field integrates cell biology, tissue engineering, and biomechanics to enhance natural repair mechanisms following trauma, sports injuries, or degenerative bone-joint diseases.

Types and Mechanisms

Core categories include:

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — concentrated autologous growth factors stimulate cellular repair.

• Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) — mesenchymal stem-rich fluid promoting osteogenic and chondroprotective activity.
