Medical Device Data in Ansys Granta EduPack
Medical devices are a great source of inspiration when demonstrating real-life applications of biomaterials. But the human body is complex and the number of medical devices is vast-- how do we introduce these topics to our students? This White Paper explores the Medical Devices datatable within Ansys Granta EduPack™, a set of teaching resources to support materials education. This data was first added in the 2020 edition of the software. Designed to bring biomaterials to life, it combines engaging illustrations with easy links between devices, their constituent materials and FDA approved examples. Details regarding its contents, organization and potential to personalize the learning are also discussed.
