Pump for Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

In this project, you will work to establish and meet a set of design requirements for a CVI pump which can be implanted in the deep venous system and assist with blood circulation. Requirements will be based upon technical details such as vessel geometry, pressure head, shear-induced hemolysis, etc. Some design flexibility will also exist, such as whether to include a wireless power supply vs. onboard power. The team will ultimately be responsible for delivering a working prototype which meets or exceeds design requirements to demonstrate proof of concept.
