Company:Diagnostic Simulations, Inc. Products:Marc Industries:Medical Devices | Overview: Dr. Paul Buscemi was the VP of Research and Development at Restore Medical Inc. in Medina MN, now a part of Medtronic. Paul and his team were responsible for conceptualization and realization of a new tongue implant to treat sleep apnea. Challenge: Restore Medical’s challenge was to build a simple, innovative, minimally
invasive, palatal implant. The R&D group needed to get insights beyond
airway closure to study the effect of the implant on critical tongue
functions such as speech and swallowing. Solution: Using MSC.Software’s CAE products Paul and his team were able to perform a complete analysis of a new human tongue implant design. Benefits: Using MSC.Software technology, Paul’s R&D team created an accurate model of tongue musculature and motion. The model was used to design and test a virtual prototype for a new tongue implant and its effects. |   DOWNLOAD |
