Training Models for Enucleation and Orbital Compartment Syndrome

ME450 Capstone Design and Manufacturing Experience: Fall 2021Enucleation and lateral canthotomy are two ophthalmic surgeries with little or no training models. Residents learn these procedures in the operating room by watching faculty and then advancing to take over more steps. The goal of this project is to build training models that will give the residents realistic training on the most important steps of both procedures while also being reusable, high-fidelity, and inexpensive. The models will provide training to residents and doctors in low-resource countries as well as the US to reduce post-operative complications and improve surgical quality.Dr. Christine Nelson, MD, FACS: Kellogg Eye Centerhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/172490/1/Team22-TrainingModelsForEnucleationAndLateralCanthotomy.pd
