Abstract/Summary of Our Project

  • Our project is to create a device that will decrease the risk of developing a pocket hematoma, a critical condition which can occur following the implantation of a cardiac device. 
  • We researched how pocket hematoma is currently treated, and found out that compression is mainly what is used to prevent pocket hematoma from occurring. 
  • We found the leading model on the market, which was a compression vest. 
  • Our design is a vest which can deliver custom compression to the affected area.
