Novel Bone-Anchored Vascular Access on the Mastoid for Hemodialysis: Concept and Preclinical Trials PROJECT TITLE :Novel Bone-Anchored Vascular Access on the Mastoid for Hemodialysis: Concept and Preclinical TrialsABSTRACT:Goal: We tend to gift the development of a bone-anchored port for the painless long-term hemodialytic treatment of patients with renal failure. This port is implanted behind the ear. Ways: The port was developed based mostly on knowledge obtained from long-term expertise with implantable hearing devices, that are firmly anchored to the bone behind the ear. This concept of bone anchoring was custom-made to the wants for a vascular access throughout hemodialysis. The investigational device is comprised of a base plate that's firmly fixed with bone screws to the bone behind the ear (temporal bone). A catheter leads from the bottom plate valve block through the internal jugular vein and into the correct atrium. The valves are opened using a special disposable adapter, while not any would like to puncture the blood vessels. Between hemodialysis sessions, the port is protected with a disposable cover. Results: Flow rate, leak tightness, and purification were tested on mockups. Preoperative designing and therefore the surgical procedure were verified in fifteen anatomical human whole head specimens. Conclusion: Preclinical evaluations demonstrated the technical feasibility and safety of the investigational device. Significance: Approximately 1.5 million individuals are treated with hemodialysis worldwide, and 25% of the general value of dialysis therapy results from vascular access problems. New approaches toward enhancing vascular access could probably scale back the costs and complications of hemodialytic therapy. Did you like this research project?
