Designed to prevent dislodgement and migration of peritoneal catheters in the abdominal cavity. Features an expandable anchor mechanism that deploys once inserted, minimizing patient discomfort and risk of failure.
Fully modeled and assembled syringe components including barrel, plunger, and hypodermic needle. Created to simulate real-world tolerances and movement for educational training use.
One of the major morbidities in osteoporosis is bone density loss in vertebral bodies. This bone density loss increases fracture risk. This is a case study to estimate the effect of bone density and vertebral body stress and strain in a compression test.
Note: Shown above is the Effective stress contours of the vertebral body in MPa, shown from the top with the compression plates hidden for easy visualization.

Deep Pressure Ulcers (PUs) are formed areas of soft tissue breakdown that develop internally, in which long-term compression between bony regions and soft tissues such as fat and muscle result in ischemia, or cell death through insufficient blood flow. This case study focuses on deep tissue injury sustained when an individual stays in a seated position, where the weight of a person allows for the pelvis bones such as ischial tuberosities to press down and create pressure conditions for tissue necrosis to develop.
Note: These GIFs show Effective Lagrange Strain distribution and von Mises Stress distribution in plane-cut configuration, respectively.
