Simulation of the `GP´ MTD Device intended for the extraction of blood clots by using the Bond Graph technique

摘要

This article covers the analysis and research into a device recently developed by the University of Wolverhampton (UK), called a 'GP' MTD Mechanical Thrombectomy Device, under the direction of Dr G. Pearce. This device will improve the process of extracting thrombosis clots in the cerebral arteries. On the one hand, the development of the simulation model of this device is shown by using Bond-Graph formalism and, on the other hand, the optimization of its performance in the very near future, from the interpretation of the results.
