The goal of the project is to design a syringe attachment to aid in the injection of a viscous material into the vertebrae in a process called percutaneous vertebroplasty. The cement injected is a polymethylmethacrylate used to replace deteroriated bone in patients suffering from osteoporosis. The cement is extremely viscous and delivery of this liquid out of the syringe, through the needle, and into the patient causes a great amount of stress on the doctor's fingers and palm due to the small syringe. The syringe attachment should provide an easier method to deliver the cement into the vertebrae and reduce stress on the doctor.

We presented our design and prototype for a crowd at Engineering Hall today between 12:00 and 2:00 pm. We all had a good time, everything went well. The final paper was turned in before our presentation, and our design notebooks were finalized and turned in. There were many interesting posters and projects at the presentation. We are all looking forward to next year. See you in BME 300.
Summary:
- Poster presentation completed
- Final paper completed and turned in
