Visual explanation of the proposed solution, developed by Team IUT, to prevent Intrauterine device expulsion when implanted in an immediately postpartum uterus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be61da356fb04a6b968b4a/1500427752465-CLE32VV1B0381AMTFWLR/MeCoVisualsGIF_Implant_Zynfusion.gif Biomedical Communication This animation was created for a Texas-based medical device company to visually explain the mechanism behind their recently patented spinal fusion device. Components are built from a Nitinol alloy that bends at body temperature, offering seamless delivery. An internally-loaded balloon system inflates a caged anchor, which then remains within the patient. Cement flows through the system, followed by the addition of an internal flexible rod. Unlike most spinal fusion hardware, the minimally-invasive mechanism highlighted here depicts a flexible device: this results in a greater range of motion and shortened recovery time for the postoperative patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be61da356fb04a6b968b4a/1625849575805-ZRXJRL1HB35GSA3AOVGW/Sourcebook_2021_Connolly_RGB_small.jpg Biomedical Communication This 3D rendering of the virus that causes COVID-19 is based on AMI Members' combined efforts and structures from the Protein Data Bank.
