Regulatory Applications in Computational Modeling & Simulation: Case Study Series

Novel Fatigue-to-Fracture Benchtop Capability Supports Validation of CM&S Stent Fracture Load and Location Predictions

December 12, 2024 | 11:00 AM ET

Webinar Description:

As part of our Regulatory Applications in Computational Modeling & Simulation series, we invite you to an engaging webinar showcasing innovative advancements in cardiovascular device testing using in silico methods. Cook Medical and Dynatek Labs, Inc. have developed a new benchtop testing method capable of intentionally fracturing nitinol stents in a controlled, pulsatile environment. This groundbreaking approach allows researchers to validate predictions from finite-element analysis (FEA), accurately pinpointing where fractures are likely to occur and the conditions that trigger them.

Join Drs. Ray Boudreaux and Xuefeng Zhao as they break down their work and demonstrate how computational modeling can enhance the accuracy of stent testing. This webinar will offer practical insights into how FEA can predict real-world outcomes, supporting safer and more effective medical device development.
