AV valve suture ring
A suture ring for assistance in AV valve surgeries.
I have designed a sewing ring assists surgeons in performing sutures on the bicuspid valve of the heart. I reconstructed a 3D model of the heart using DICOM image of a heart scan and then sectioned my region of interest near the bicuspid valve using 3D slicer.
I imported this sectioned portion onto Fusion 360 and modeled a sewing ring on it. The ring fits perfectly over the curves and corners of the valve opening. This gives the doctor a clear and steady field to work on to perform their job effectively.
