Previous Medical Device Consulting Projects
Centrifugal Blood Pump Modeling
For over ten years, the SimuTech Group has applied CFD in healthcare simulation for the design of left and right ventricular assist devices as well as total artificial hearts. Our focus in medical device consulting has been to provide insights guiding the development of these new blood pumps. The end-goal being to provide the desired hydraulic performance and also minimize regions of sustained high and low shear that could lead to blood damage or thrombus formation.
Patient-Specific Computational Modeling
An exciting and growing area of focus in healthcare is patient-specific computational modeling. Such modeling, based upon three-dimensional imaging reconstruction of a patient’s anatomy, can help clinicians plan their surgical approaches or evaluate a new device’s performance under simulated clinical conditions.

Artificial Kidney and Pancreas Projects
Another area of focus for SimuTech Group relating to medical device consulting, has been the application of CFD to help advance the development of new artificial kidney and pancreas devices. In addition to optimizing the flow path to improve mass transfer, we have applied particle tracking methods to assess the likelihood of platelet activation when flowing through such medical devices.
