Medical applications

CEWAC develops more and more of its study and research activities in the medical sector and especially in the development of medical devices that administer a liquid from a flexible pouch to a patient.

The course for this type of applied research that leads to the manufacturing of industrial prototypes is the following: theoretical study plans design (SOLIDWORKS), finite element analysis verification (COSMOSWorks), pre-prototype fabrication and characterization (development of specific tests, fatigue tests) followed by the prototyping phase and the production of pilot lots.

Examples:

Autonomous portable infusion set Designed for emergency situations and disaster plans, its operation is based on a patented pressurization mechanism for a drip pouch. Completely autonomous, the energy is accumulated by springs, it enables a rescue worker to be available to give medical assistance to another victim. It delivers the infusion liquid with a constant pressure of 150 mbar +/- 5 %.

Infiltrator device to dilute fatty tissue Designed for use during cosmetic surgery and especially for the infiltration of fat diluent before liposuction; its operation is based on another patented pressurization mechanism for infusion pouches. This device can deliver the product at a constant pressure of 1000 mbar +/-3% that is adjustable by steps of 100 mbar.
