Project Overview

The goal of this semester is to develop an auricular prosthesis attachment mechanism that is able to improve on the current design in various aspects of functionality. The design will ensure a strong hold to the surgically implanted abutments while withstanding the stresses of everyday use, but releasing in the presence of excess force. Additionally, the patient will be able to affix and remove the prosthesis with ease.
