BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING PROJECT

This portfolio serves as a comprehensive representation of my academic experience in Biomedical Engineering, featuring projects that dive into the application of advanced engineering concepts and the development of innovative biomedical solutions.

ScottyStitch

Award Winning Project - ScottyStitch

A Novel Laparoscopic Port Closure Device

Summary

In my undergraduate senior year, my Biomedical Engineering Design team developed an innovative laparoscopic port closure device that addressed postoperative intestinal herniation by efficiently closing laparoscopic port sites. This device employed anchored needle guides and a rotator bearing for a double cross-stitch mechanism, which improves resistance to postoperative complications while improving ease of use for surgeons. 

Awards

Our group received two awards - the senior Biomedical Engineering Design award and second place in the Sigma Xi poster competition

Future Goals

We hope to continue to iterate this project to improve efficacy and ease of use as a team
