UTHealth inventors have designed and developed a novel low-cost manual electrode micromanipulator, which can be as small as 73mm x 12 mm x 37 mm (length, width, height) with a weight of 25 g. The design incorporates a compliant mechanism via a simple flexible hinge to mediate the movement along three axes: 12 mm (forward/backward), 9 mm (vertical),...

Clot Burst Pressure (CBP) Measurement Device

Researchers from UTHealth designed a device for developing a clot burst pressure (CBP) which can be used for direct measurement of the pressure required to dislodge a clot. More particularly, this measurement can distinguish between thrombi of hypo- and hypercoagulable states by observing differences in the CBP of conditioned groups compared to control...

Cuff-less, Effortless Blind Insertion Airway Management Device with Mouthpiece Seal

Conventional airway management devices typically include an inflatable cuff that seals the tube within the trachea, while this inflated cuff design could place excessive pressure on the patient’s adjacent tissues and cause tissue damage. Although laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) can avoid potential damage to the trachea by providing a seal above...

“Wand-Seeker” – a chronic occlusion crossing and re-entry device

Coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked as a result of atherosclerosis, which is the build-up of fatty deposits and plaque on the inner walls of the arteries that restrict blood flow. This device for treating chronic total occlusion (CTO) facilitates the passing of a coronary wire across a coronary lesion...
