For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design advanced medical moulage that accurately simulates the progression of an injury or pathology by morphing through a series of clinical states to enable learners to confirm the progression of the wound and to determine whether iatrogenic errors or pathologies occurred duing treatment. The physical morphing moulage may be applied to medical m ...

Realistic surgical simulation requires a combination of representative tissue geometry, accurate tissue material properties and lifelike tool-tissue interaction forces. Recent advances in computational power and imaging modalities have provided the capability to represent the anatomical details required for surgical training; however, the mathematical models which govern the underlying tissue pro ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts over two million Americans annually, and is the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Therapeutic hypothermia is a promising neuroprotective technique for treating TBI, but reduced body temperature is a threat to soldiers in military operations with multiple injuries. Mainstream has proposed a novel heat pump cooling system that overcomes the ...

The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

Our proposal develops an osteochondral repair platform that is conformable to a wide variety of injury geometries without the need for pre-operative customization. Further this platform does not rely on any autologous tissue and is amenable to scalable manufacturing methods. The basis of this platform is a targeted delivery technology that permits site-specific osteo-chondral induction within inj ...

Burn injuries to theface present a number of functional and psychological challenges that arisefrom scarring and contracture. Thus, amajor goal of burn and trauma surgeons is to prevent scarring and improvegraftingtechnologies that are used on thecomplextopography of the face. The proposed project builds on previous PhaseII SBIR workthat demonstrated thefeasibility of using a keratin-collagen matr ...

Providing Army combat medics with meaningful experience in treatment of battlefield injuries is a particular challenge. Moulage has the potential to assist in acquiring what could otherwise be very hard-to-come-by preparatory experience for the distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to re ...

The Second Phase II of the HHIO PTT SBIR (also known as Phase II (b)) will build upon the results from the successful Phase I and Phase II efforts culminating in an expanded and improved version of the Phase II prototype with additional capabilities, enhanced user-friendliness, better reliability, and a specific design for commercialization. SIMETRI will leverage the lessons learned from the Phase ...

A joint can exit its socket when it is exposed to an unhealthy level of force or rotation, causing a large amount of pain and loss of functionality in the limb. Joint dislocation can easily be diagnosed by a physical examination: palpitation of the affected joint will usually cause pain and tenderness in the patient, and the dislocated head of the bone can be felt out of its usual position in the ...
