SURGICAL EQUIPMENT
TDMG was chosen to help develop surgical equipment for a startup Canadian company
offering novel surgical procedures. The surgical equipment developed is related to
specialized suturing and ways of applying these sutures. This project is currently
underway with initial prototypes already made. The concepts in this development program
involve minute features which can only be produced using micro-
In related fields, TDMG has assisted a number of medical
and pharmaceutical companies in developing some of
their products. Another project involved the design and
development of a heat exchanger unit for an intra-
temperature management system. This system provides
cooling or heating to patients who may be in critical
condition or undergoing surgery. TDMG’s role consisted
of developing the heat exchanger part of the system by
performing CFD (flow and thermal) analysis of the system.
The results were used to optimize the heat exchanger
section of the unit.
Yet another medical project involved the analysis of a collet feature on a dental device. The collet had specific requirements in terms of when it needed to engage and disengage. These requirements involved load application as well as centrifugal force effects due to rotation. In order to optimize the collet geometry, a finite element analysis was performed to estimate deflections under various applied forces. The results of this work allowed the customer to properly dimension the collet so that it would perform as requested under all operating loads and conditions.
