(North Bergen,
NJ—January 31, 2018) Recently, High Tech students in the D|Fab and biomedical academies
had the chance to learn about the latest tools used in medical surgery and its
application, announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech
High School.
In October, students
visited Triangle Manufacturing, a facility in Upper Saddle River dedicated to
the manufacturing of medical devices and implants for surgical purposes. This highly
informative field trip exposed them to the fabrication of medical devices.
This month, guest
speakers demonstrated the application aspect of medical surgery to the students
in the Resource Center at the North Hudson Center. Dr. Schwartz, a podiatrist, and Mr. Ennis, a
surgical technician, delivered a presentation about the specific tools employed
in surgical procedures. During the presentation, Schwartz and Ennis discussed
various types of screws and brackets utilized during surgery, (specifically, the
podiatric variety). By the end of the presentation, students became familiar
with another aspect of medical fabrication and the employment opportunities associated
with it.
