Endovascular Devices for Cath Lab and Operating Room Procedures

Create a proof of concept / biocompatible prototype of a device that will hold both wires and catheters of various sizes to enhance ease of handling the system during procedures.

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 divided crate to store (2) 4-5 wheels in which the guidewires will be placed.
