Vcu Innovators Create Device to Mimic Real Blood Flow to Surgical Training Simulations

Surgical simulation is critical to building skills that will transfer to a real-life operating room.

The artificial blood used in surgical training simulations didn't pulse or have variable flow like that of a living person.

A "reciprocating diaphragm pump" generates pressures, flow rates and stroke volumes that closely replicate human physiology.

The device can mimic the blood flow for physicians performing complex procedures or managing acute trauma scenarios.
