Laparoscopic Banding Device Team Members: Anna Moeller: Team Leader Kailey Feyereisen: BSAC Gina Stuessy: Communications Tyler Witt: BWIG Client: Dr. Thomas Julian Department of OB/GYN U.W. – Madison Medical School Email: [email protected] Date: February 8 through February 14, 2008 Problem Statement: “Design a laparoscopic banding instrument for tubal sterilization that is less traumatic and more dependable” than current, cumbersome, rough, inaccurate product. (Julian) Summary of Accomplishments: • Set team roles (1/25/08) • Came up with two designs for band loader (2/8/08) • Started building prototype (2/12/08) • Started computer modeling of band loader (2/12/08) • Wrote preliminary testing protocol (2/12/08) Last Week’s Goals: • Try to find specific school for outreach • Continue construction of prototype • Continue to work on computer model of band loader This Week’s Goals: • Try to find specific school for outreach • Continue construction of prototype • Continue to work on computer modeling of band loader • Start working on Mid-semester Power Point presentation Individual Goals for Next Week: Anna: Work on prototype, work on midsemester Kailey: Work on computer model of band loader, work on prototype Gina: Work on prototype, work on midsemester Tyler: Work on computer model of band loader, work on prototypeLaparoscopic Banding Device 2 Difficulties: There have been difficulties finding a school for the outreach program. The team is continuing to look into schools. Another problem was the testing procedure not being specific enough. The team is working on addressing this issue with a more precise protocol that takes into account more trials, data, and error conditions.
