Tissue fragment injection system
Project Overview
Certain models of cancer require surgical implantation of tissue fragments. Percutaneous injection is the preferred method for implantation over open surgery because it is less invasive. Percutaneous methods have limitations including: difficulty suturing the site of incision, tumor seeding in unwanted areas, and backflow of tumor fragments during procedure. Our goal is to design an improved tissue fragment injection system that effectively eliminates these complications while lowering the technical skill needed to perform the procedure.
