Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies.
The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is surgical biopsy, despite associated complications including mortality. Cryogenic lung biopsy presents a new method of diagnosis with low risks compared to surgical methods. This proposal highlights the ongoing development of a cryogenic lung biopsy device. The intern will be required to execute engineering confidence testing as well as verification testing prior to design freeze. By the end of the internship period, a completed design of the cryogenic lung biopsy device will be ready for human use.
