RISControllability Over Wall Thickness of Tubular Structures and Encapsulation During Co-Axial Extrusion of a Thermal-Crosslinking Hydrogel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tubular structures of the hydrogel are used in a variety of applications such as delivering nutrient supplies for 3D cell culturing. The wall thickness of the tube determines the delivery rate. In this study, we used the ...
Hydrogel-Forming Microneedle Arrays for Sustained and Controlled Ocular Drug Delivery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microneedles (MNs) provide a minimally invasive alternative to intravitreal injections and a promising means to sustainable ocular drug delivery. To optimize the sustained drug release profile and to ease the administration ...
An Experimental Study on Bipolar Tissue Hemostasis and Its Dynamic Impedance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bipolar tissue hemostasis is a medical procedure where high frequency alternating current is applied to biological tissue for wound closing and blood vessel sealing through heating. The process is often performed with a ...
An Experimental and Numerical Study on Coaxial Extrusion of a Non-Newtonian Hydrogel Material
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coaxial extrusion is a commonly used process to manufacture tubular structures to mimic vascular systems in 3D bioprinting. In this study, the stability of coaxial extrusion of a non-Newtonian material, Pluronic F127, is ...
Photo-Responsive Hydrogel Microneedles With Interlocking Control for Easy Extraction in Sustained Ocular Drug Delivery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microneedle arrays provide a minimally invasive platform for ocular drug delivery. Self-adhesive microneedle arrays, which incorporate barb-like locking features, have been developed to secure the array in place without ...
The Effect of Compression Force Uniformity on Bipolar Tissue Welding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bipolar forceps are a type of electrosurgical device (ESD) widely used for tissue welding in modern surgeries. ESDs have many advantages over traditional surgical tools including reduced blood loss, improved efficiency, ...
Characterization of the Electrosurgical Tissue Joining Process Using Dynamic Impedance and Energy Efficiency
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electrosurgical tissue joining is an effective way to create hemostasis, especially in surgical procedures performed in the minimally invasive manner. The quality of tissue joints and potential thermal damages to the ...
Dynamic Impedance Monitoring for Large Diameter Vessel Sealing Using Bipolar Electrosurgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vessel sealing using bipolar electrosurgery is becoming a common practice in modern operating rooms. Despite all the advantages such as faster operation, less bleeding, and shorter postsurgery recovery time, side effects ...
Biomedical Manufacturing: A Review of the Emerging Research and Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biomedical manufacturing, which has seen rapid growth over the past decade, is an emerging research area for the manufacturing community. This growth trajectory is exemplified and coupled with a broadening scope of ...
A Review of State-of-the-Art on Enabling Additive Manufacturing Processes for Precision Medicine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Precision medicine is an emerging healthcare delivery approach that considers variability between patients, such as genetic makeups, in contrast to the current one-size-fits-all approach that is designed to treat the average ...
