Prolapse Model Week 11-November 14-20, 2008 Team: Hallie Kreitlow – Team Leader Graham Bousley – Communicator Andrew Bertram– BSAC Sarah Switalski– BWIG Client: Tova Ablove, MD Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology School of Medicine and Public Health Phone: 608-469-4023, Email: [email protected] Advisor: Paul Thompson Phone: 608-224-2880, Email: [email protected] Problem Statement Dr. Tova Ablove needs a dynamic model to teach the pelvic organ prolapse quantification exam (POP-Q). Currently, there is no easy way to teach the different types of prolapse including cystoceles, rectoceles, and vault prolapse. Our objective is to design and fabricate a dynamic, to-scale model, which will accomplish these teaching goals. Restatement of Team Goals Now that the size of the model has been finalized, the team will purchase the necessary amount of materials to begin fabrication. They will also develop a blueprint of the tube and set up a meeting with their silicone provider to get his input on how to fabricate the tube. Their goal is to have all fabrication done before Thanksgiving break so testing can be done. Activities Date Activity Time Team Individual Grand Total 11.14.08 Team: In-class meeting/Home Depot 2.00h 43.00h 11.18.08 11.20.08 Team: Meeting with Greg Gion.

Hallie: Progress report, design ideas. 1.50h 16.25h 65.50h 11.18.08 Graham: Materials research. 1.00h 9.00h 51.50h 11.14.08 Andrew: BSAC. 0.25h 11.25h 55.50h 11.20.08 Sarah: Design sketches, webpage. 0.50h 11.00h 59.75hSummary of Accomplishment The team purchased the materials necessary to build the box. They also met with Greg Gion of Medical Art Prosthetics who showed them different types of silicone. From this, they were able to choose the one they thought would work best. Hallie ordered the silicone and some silicone adhesive. They began fabricating the box and discussed other design issues including the material for the outer tube and how to actuate the rods coming out from the bottom of the box. Statement of Team Goals This week, the team needs to complete as much fabrication as possible before Thanksgiving break. They need to find molds that can be used for the organs or find something shaped like the mold so they can create plaster casts from them. With these they plan on using expandable foam (with help from Greg) to make the organs. The silicone is expected to arrive on Monday. So, on Monday the team will determine the technique they will use to make the silicone tube whether it be in a flat sheet or with cylindrical molds. The team will work on certain aspects of the poster over Thanksgiving break as well as finish up any fabrication as necessary. Also, their method of testing their design will be fully developed and ready to enact following break. Individual Goals Hallie Materials/molds, fabrication, poster, test method, send out progress report. Graham Materials/molds, fabrication, poster, test method, set up time to meet with client. Andrew Materials/molds, fabrication, poster, test method, attend BSAC. Sarah Materials/molds, fabrication, poster, test method, team webpage. Difficulties Finalizing dimensions of the model by looking at the material properties and cost. Making sure materials are obtained with enough time to fabricate. Project
