Leading Lap has redesigned the trocar’s tip to prevent puncturing or injuring organs upon insertion. Georgia Tech biomedical engineering students Hailey Avis, Cameron Bennett, Will Kamnick and Katherine Strickland make up this team for the Fall 2019 Capstone Design Expo.
Thanks to GCMI’s Capstone Day, the team was able to use their device in a highly clinical, practical situation. “Being able to test the device in a cadaveric setting thanks to GCMI was the best opportunity we could have been afforded at this stage,” Lando said.
Good laboratory practice (GLP) studies are an essential component to medical product development and regulatory submissions. They are highly rigorous, are conducted in compliance with a legally bound code of federal regulations (21 CFR Part 58) and should be conducted by qualified scientists and staff of an accredited contract research organization (CRO). They are also…
Finding a trustworthy CRO for preclinical studies is a top priority for medical product innovators. It is always more cost-effective for companies to get it right the first time when selecting data sets, study endpoints and a preclinical partner. In other words, the most expensive study is the one you have to repeat.
GCMI’s foremost goal as an affiliate of the Georgia Institute of Technology is to partner with Georgia Tech faculty and engineers in the innovation process of new medical products.
