Artificial eyelid closure using soft exopatches

  • Background
  • Design Overview/Requirements
    • 1. Force transfer by constrained string - (Main Design)
    • 2. Lateral Pulling (Preliminary Design)
    • 3. Pneumatic Exopatch - (Failed Design)
  • Fabrication
    • 1. Force transfer by constrained string (Main) - Fabrication
    • 2. Lateral Pulling Fabrication (Preliminary Design)
    • 3. Pneumatic Exopatch Fabrication - (Failed Design)
  • Testing
    • 1. Force transfer by constrained string (main design) - Results and Testing
    • 2. Lateral Pulling Results and Test Methods (Preliminary Design)
    • 3. Evaluation of Device as per Design Specifications

The validity of the final concept involved testing the effectiveness of closure as well as human-subject testing for comfort and usability. The results of this data are listed in the subsequent pages.
