Abstract:The paper presents a development methodology for a new bio-composite medical device used in extensive anatomical reconstructions. Current surgical techniques and devices include auto transplant, surgical meshes or even acellular devices. Due to the high degree of reconstruction and large amount of exposed tissue, the surgeries tend to have high re-intervention rates, leading to severe complications and even death. A functional approach is proposed to develop an improved medical device for the treatment of thes… Show more
