Medical Devices and Other Facilities

Medical devices as well as surgical aids can be optimised using CFD and FEA techniques. A better understanding of flow and structural properties results in a better design for the medical devices.

The techniques are also suited to predict the outcome of certain therapies.

• Design and analysis of respiratory masks
• Design and analysis of stents (courtesy of IBItech)
• Prediction of outcome succes for treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In addition to the CFD and FEA analysis tools, FluidDA has access to:

• Animal test facilities
• Micro CT scanner
• Rapid prototyping
• Particle imaging velocimetry (PIV)
