Description
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography is a procedure in which an endoscopic device is used to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal diseases in the pancreaticobiliary system. This year's Boston Scientific SCOPE team is continuing a project from Spring 2006 that aims to improve a device used in these surgeries by addressing a known usability issue. The project will involve mechanical design, component testing, materials selection and analysis, and manufacturing. The team will brainstorm and rough prototype devices as well as review concepts generated by last year's team. They will then use modeling, prototyping and testing methods to assess the effectiveness of the final design. The main goal of the project is to provide Boston Scientific with a final detailed design of a tested, prototyped mechanism that meets the needs of their customers.
