🩸 Squimish?  Me too!  No real blood was used in the making of this video.  And because I know someone is going to ask, no that is NOT 👽 blood, it's green food coloring. 

Now that disclaimer is out of the way... Meet Megan!  And see Bryan in action doing his 3D thing.  

Blood clot formation, also called thrombosis, can be a risk for patients who require a medical device that comes in contact with their blood.  To ensure patient safety, it is important to test the potential for thrombogenicity (blood clotting) of medical devices prior to their use in people. Megan is working to develop, standardize, and validate a series of bench top test methods (a set of scientific or engineering procedures and experiments conducted in a controlled environment, typically on a bench or tabletop to evaluate and analyze various materials, products, devices, or systems) that can be used to reliably evaluate the thrombogenicity (blood clotting) potential of devices.
