Case Study
Enhancing Performance and Safety of Medical Implantable Devices With Multiphysics Simulation
7 COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS SEPTEMBER 2016 ENHANCING PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY OF MEDICAL IMPLANTABLE DEVICES WITH MULTIPHYSICS SIMULATION At St. Jude Medical, ventricle assist devices are developed to improve the lives of patients with heart failure. Numerical simulation is used throughout the design process to characterize diverse concurrent aspects of the design, from thermal effects and fluid dynamics to power transfer. By SARAH FIELDS THE DEVE
