The BMES Design team provides a hands-on opportunity to students, so they can build a medical device in just one year.
The BMES Design Team is a new initiative (started in 2023) to provide students with an experiential learning opportunity to develop themselves as engineers. The vision was to have a year-long effort to expose students to the medical device development process –– everything from idea generation to implementing the device. In addition to applying knowledge from the curriculum, the BMES Design Team offers a cross-functional, collaborative environment that fosters innovation and supports the development of transferrable skills.
Cannulation Cardiac Surgical Tool
Cannulation Cardiac Surgical Tool
The Cardiac BMES Design Team is dedicated to improving emergent cannulation—a critical procedure where tubing is inserted into blood vessels to enable life-saving interventions. The team is developing a device to streamline this process, aiming to reduce setup time in emergency and operating rooms, minimize complications, and ultimately support faster, more reliable access during high-pressure cardiac events. Our goal is to implement this tool directly into clinical and surgical settings to improve patient outcomes.
