Blood Damage Modeling
Overview
In vitro testing of hemolysis and thrombosis is essential for the development of various blood-contacting devices. Computational fluid dynamics has also proven to be a useful complementary tool for understanding mechanical sources of damage, i.e. shear stress, exposure time, and recirculation, but lacks clear regulatory impact.
Benefits
These models will help medical device developers understand and optimize their devices to minimize the effects of blood damage during the product development stage and, potentially, assist in assessing safety.
Blood Damage Models Focus Areas
Blood Damage Models - Hemolysis
Blood Damage Models - Thrombosis
Deliverable
To generate credible physical test data that can then be used to support the development and validation of computational models of blood damage.
