Meet Our Sponsors 

Our sponsors' research supports the critical goal of improving rapid clot removal for dialysis access. Dialysis patients rely heavily on an access site, such as an arteriovenous (AV) fistula or graft, to connect to the dialysis machine for life-saving treatment. 

Acknowledgements

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Elsie Ross and Kayla Tracy for their invaluable mentorship and support throughout this capstone project. Their guidance regarding technical specifications and advice on specific medical device components has been instrumental in our design process.

Furthermore, their insights heavily influenced our approach to exploring experimental options for accurately recreating surgical conditions. Thanks to their ongoing support, our team successfully developed and tested a sensor-enabled drive unit for mechanical thrombectomy.
