Lap-Band Test Stand P9042 http://www.lapband.com/get_informed/about_lapband/how_it_works/
Team Members � Michael Batyko – ME � John Matrachisia – ME � Ilya Rivkin - EE � Kevin Sando - ME � Brian Weber - EE
Project Overview � Develop a test stand for the Lap-Band device that can: � Measure force/pressure applied to stomach. � Measure/control amount of saline solution in device. � Collect data
Key Challenges � Identifying a material to mimic the physical properties of the upper stomach. � Measuring the force/pressure applied to stomach by Lap-Band Device. � Finding a way to accurately meter amount of saline solution in Lap-Band Device. � Integrate components into test stand and obtain test data correlating saline volume to force/pressure on stomach.
