Design of a Bioabsorbable stent as preventive treatment of complication in bariatric surgery RYGBP
(2017-12-05) Jara Mendiola, Juan Manuel; Vázquez Lepe, Elisa Virginia; García López, Erika; Rodríguez González, Ciro Ángel
A new approach to the treatment of complications of RYGBP is covered by the implementation of design methodologies as quality function deployment and theory of inventive problem solving, (QFD and TRIZ) to propose a Design of a bioabsrobable stent as a preventive treatment. In despite on the variability of documented results of degradation rates of bio polymers and bio metals, a new lab protocol is proposed to homogenize both families of materials degradation rates into comparable results. The usage of PLA and AZ31 into a new protocol proposal of degradation tests were carried on. The design resultant by the design methodologies were tested by finite element analysis to compare compression resistance, flexibility and compressibility. Three design proposals are shown with acceptable performance and an expected functional life time.
