Analyze individual patients or a specific patient population to reconstruct neurovascular anatomy and understand the geometry of the aneurysm, landing zone, and surrounding vessels.
Neurovascular R&D Solutions for Medical Device Companies
Accelerated design cycles for better-fitting devices
The race to market is tight, and lengthy design cycles work against you. Accelerate the design cycle for your brain aneurysm device with regulatory-accepted computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) tools and services.
Common challenges during R&D
- Quantifying the target population to define the optimal shape and size of your braided flow diverter, intrasaccular device, or coils
- Ensuring your device precisely fits the tiny and complex neurovascular anatomy
- Leveraging in-silico methods to verify device deployment, wall shear stress, fatigue behavior, and more
- Balancing the need to collect evidence with pressure to shorten development timelines and win the race to market
Why in-silico methods for neurovascular R&D?
Achieve unmatched precision with better-fitting neurovascular devices
- Quantify the target population to inform design decisions
- Simulate the target population's dynamics for accurate and relevant design input
Strengthen testing with a reliable CM&S approach
- Build reliable evidence with in silico trials, trusted by regulators and leading medical device companies
- Virtually simulate prototypes to pinpoint design issues and verify performance early on without excess benchtop testing
Advance to animal and human studies with confidence
- Minimize animal testing with virtual trials that simulate realistic conditions
- Virtually demonstrate device performance on real patient anatomy before entering trials
How to accelerate R&D for your device
Development needs vary across brain aneurysm devices. Find out how we support you for your device type.
Flow diverters
- Efficiently define your stent size and shape based on analysis of the landing zone and often tortuous delivery route
- Simulate multiple scenarios of braided device parameters to verify device efficacy and decide on an optimal device design
Intrasaccular devices
- Define the optimal device size and shape to fit irregular brain aneurysm neck anatomy, especially when adapting LAAO devices for neurovascular applications
- Simulate device deployment and device-anatomy interaction to verify device efficacy and pinpoint potential design issues
Stent-assisted coils
- Develop appropriate supporting stents to avoid coil prolapse and ensure anatomical fit
- Use in silico testing to verify coil-stent interaction and confidently move to animal and human trials
