Computational Rendering of the Biohybrid Respiratory Simulator (IMAGE)
Caption
A computational rendering of the biohybrid respiratory simulator shows the modular device, including organic swine lungs, artificial muscles and a diaphragm made of thermoplastic and elastomeric materials. It was built to accurately replicate respiratory mechanics and precisely track pressure, flow and volume to test innovative medical implants and replicate changes in the system introduced by disease or ventilator use.
