Weekly Progress Report
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Initial prototype acquired. Will conduct a prototype test on next Wednesday 4/18/2018 with medical staff. Clamp and medical silicon is purchased.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Initial Prototype built and delivered
Individual component analysis completed
Found a velcro manufacturer and can use them for larger orders
Figured that medical grade silicon could be used on the clamp tips to reduce movement of applicator
Researched various clamps, and will purchase one to test out.
