PROJECTS
STENT & DEPLOYMENT CATHETER
BACKGROUND ON PROJECT
Design and development of a nitinol self-expanding stent and delivery device
KEY REQUIREMENTS
➜ Design 1 - Self-expanding stent to apply radial forces
➜ Design 2 - Delivery system to deploy stent
➜ Design 3 – Ergonomic handle to control deployment The overall design needed to achieve all user needs for a robust, manufacturable solution
CARDIAC PACEMAKER LEADS
BACKGROUND ON PROJECT
Design and development of a novel long-term implantable lead system for cardiac tissue.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
➜ Design 1 – Right Ventricle pacemaker type lead with Coil
➜ Design 2 - Left Ventricle patch pacemaker type lead with Patch
➜ Design 3 – ISO-Compliant connector for generator interfacing
Leads must be harmoniously sealed, conduct microcurrent, and withstand the mechanical and fatigue forces generated by the heart.
CARDIOVASCULAR BALLOON CATHETER
BACKGROUND ON PROJECT
Design and development balloon catheter system for cardiovascular applications
KEY REQUIREMENTS
➜ Design 1 – Compliant balloon with precise inflation/deflation characteristics
➜ Design 2- Pressure sensor to monitor blood pressure and flow direction
➜ Design 3 – Fluid and electrical connection with an external generator
Device configuration must deliver a fluoroscopy-free solution that enables clinicians to act quickly in critical situations
