Venous Bench Testing for Nutcracker Syndrome

The Challenge

Evaluating venous stents for Nutcracker Syndrome requires reproducing complex interactions between vessel compliance, external compression, and venous flow.

Our Approach

Pulso developed a dedicated in-vitro platform combining:

• Patient-inspired venous anatomies

• Controlled external compression

• Adjustable vessel compliance

• Physiological pulsatile flow

The Impact

The platform enables repeatable assessment of stent positioning, expansion, stability, and migration risk before clinical evaluation.

Key Benefits

• Realistic and repeatable testing conditions

• Faster device development and refinement

• Reduced reliance on early in-vivo testing

• Better collaboration between engineers and clinicians
