MicroSurgical Suture for Targeted Neurovascular Hemostasis

Project Overview

Designed a microsurgical suture with integrated flow sensors to autonomously address hemorrhaging in neurovascular and ophthalmic surgeries.

Key Contributions:

• Developed 100µm hot-wire anemometers and nitinol sputter-deposited, joule-heating-actuated overhanging grippers for rapid hemostasis.
• Designed device manufacturing process and Data/Control quicklink interconnect.
• Performed detailed thermal and structural analysis of the device and target vessels.
• Proposed for use in enhancing cranial microsurgical operational viability.
