Zaballa, Vincent (2013-09-28)Polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been shown to be biocompatible within porcine models and show potential to treat intracranial saccular aneurysms in patients, and use in other medical applications. After ...
-
Eagleston, Scott 1990- (2012-04-20)SMP foams have unique properties that make them well suited for certain medical applications. SMP foam has the ability to be programmed to “remember” a temporary shape, and once heated can revert back to its original ...
-
Szafron, Jason Michael (2013-09-28)Stroke is a leading cause of death and debilitation in the United States, with ischemic stroke in particular affecting hundreds of thousands of people every year. Treatment options for ischemic stroke have several limitations. ...
-
Loftin, MadelinePatent ductus arteriosu is a condition wherein is a condition wherein the ductus arteriosus, or the natural port between the aorta and pulmonary artery during canine fetal development, fails to spontaneously close shortly ...
-
Raines, Sarah B (2017-04-27)Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a condition that occurs when the ductus arteriosus vessel, a vessel connecting the aorta to the main pulmonary artery, does not close after birth, causing irregularities in blood flow. A ...

Fabrication of Shape Memory Polymer Nanocomposite Foams with Surface Modified Nanoparticle Fillers Emery, Harrison (2015-09-24)Every year, 30,000 individuals in the United States will suffer from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. The Biomedical Device Laboratory seeks to improve on current aneurysm treatment by using a low-density, high-volume shape ...
-
Grant, Katharyn Anne-Marie (2018-04-19)Polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) foams are ultra-low density, “smart” materials that transition between a primary and secondary shape when exposed to a thermal stimulus. This material has the potential to be used ...
-
Frederick, Jane (2015-09-24)A new device based on porous, stimulus-responsive materials is being developed for the treatment of brain aneurysms. Shape memory polymer (SMP) foams can be heated above their transition temperature (Ttrans) and crimped ...
-
Nash, Landon 1990- (2012-04-23)In this work, shape memory polymer neurovascular stent prototypes based on a previously proposed design were thermo-mechanically characterized to expand on the clinical efficacy of the device. The stents were made by ...
-
Balakrishna, Kedar H (2017-04-28)Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are proposed for use in a variety of medical devices, such as neural and peripheral embolism coils for aneurysm occlusion. These “smart” materials have unique advantages over shape memory alloys, ...
-
Ezell, Kendal PShape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been proposed for a variety of medical applications, including brain aneurysm embolization and occlusion of peripheral vascular malformations. While these devices provide significant ...
-
Easley, Alexandra Danielle (2015-09-24)Vascular aneurysms are a significant source of morbidity and mortality, affecting 3 to 5 million Americans annually. Current treatments often require either highly invasive strategies to surgically occlude the aneurysm or ...
-
Muschalek, Rachael Lee (2013-09-25)In this work, the synthesis of ultra-low density Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) foams onto a nickel-titanium backbone wire is achieved, optimized, and characterized for the use in an intracranial aneurysm embolization device. ...
