Research Fellow in development of a bench-top test for implantable urinary

at  Trinity College Dublin

POST SUMMARY

Sphincters in the urinary system are muscles that allow the body to hold in urine. An inflatable artificial (man-made) sphincter is a medical device which can prevent urine from leaking when the biological urinary sphincter no longer works well.
We have been working with the urology division of Boston Scientific in Clonmel, Ireland, to better understand and characterise a range of urological tissues. The aim of this specific project is to characterise the mechanical properties of urethral tissue and the interaction between artificial inflatable urinary sphincters and the urethra. The ultimate goal is to use this information to create both a bench-top test system and in silico models of urinary sphincters applied to the urethra, to aid device design optimisation and better long-term performance.
