Endovascular Devices for Cath Lab and Operating Room Procedures
The team will design a proof of concept of a device that allows for surgeons to load and unload guidewires quickly and easily during a procedure.
Project Overview
In many endovascular catheter related surgeries, surgeons must use multiple guidewires during a single procedure. These guidewires are hard to manage as they can get tangled and disorderly. This product aims to increase procedure efficiency and safety by decreasing the time it takes for surgeons to organize the wires. Thus, we will engineer a device to organize multiple catheters and solve this issue. The device will consist of two parts: (1) a stand to hold the wheels (2) 3 wheels in which the guidewires will be placed. The guidewire must stay organized and unknotted when removed from the wheel. It must be easy to remove the wire while in the operating room. The wheels must also be easily placed and removed from the stand.
