Chronic wounds cost the U.S. healthcare system more than $25 billion annually, and improper irrigation is a major culprit. However, the advent of simulation in medtech engineering has led to the development of cost-effective, safer, and more efficient wound care tools. These tools model fluid dynamics, spray patterns, and pump efficiency in silico, thereby reducing […]

Laser ablation is becoming the go-to technique for minimally invasive procedures ranging from tumor removal to cardiac arrhythmia correction. However, designing safe and precise ablation devices, especially those compatible with MRI, is no small feat. Here’s where the invaluable expertise of COMSOL engineers becomes crucial. Why Laser Ablation? Unlike traditional thermal or chemical ablation, laser

Rechargeable smartphones are great. Rechargeable hearts? Now that’s impressive. In situ battery charging for implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers, orthopedic stimulators, and neuroprosthetics, is rapidly evolving. And COMSOL engineers are on the front lines, using simulation to design devices that safely recharge inside the body without invasive procedures. The Challenge: Small Devices, Big Constraints
