We created a new testing method to measure forces from guide wires and catheters on tissues during urological procedures. This simulation accurately reflects real-world stress, improving device safety and performance evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Urological Device Testing
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Guide wires and catheters can cause tissue stress during urological procedures.
  • Prior methods assessed device properties (stiffness, friction) but didn't quantify tissue impact.
  • Individual physical properties do not fully represent device ensemble behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel testing method for evaluating forces exerted by guide wires and catheters on anatomical structures.
  • To provide a realistic simulation of the urological environment for device assessment.
  • To bridge the gap between device physical properties and their actual effect on tissues.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a computer-controlled test stand to simulate the urological environment.

  • Incorporated a tortuous path and a simulated stone obstruction into the model.
  • Developed a method to realistically evaluate forces applied to anatomical structures.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method shows significant promise in evaluating device performance.
    • Results align with real-life measures of stress on anatomical structures.
    • The simulation accurately reflects wire/catheter performance in a realistic context.

    Conclusions:

    • The new testing method provides a realistic evaluation of forces from urological instruments.
    • The model's modularity allows adaptation for simulating other medical fields.
    • This approach enhances the assessment of device safety and efficacy in urology.
