Auxetic Space Creation and Organ Retraction Device for Laparoscopic Surgery
This project is working with a team of surgeons and an NHS business development manager to devise novel mechanical expansion mechanisms for an innovative new device – the LaparOsphereTM - for space creation and organ retraction in laparoscopic surgery.
Auxetic Materials for Sports Impact Protection
This project is focussed on developing new and improved impact protection materials and is part of a wider collaboration with the Centre for Sports Engineering Research and also Manchester Metropolitan University. A process to produce large area or volume isotropic, anisotropic and gradient one-piece auxetic foams is being developed, foams produced and characterised for their mechanical and impact response properties. Significant reductions in peak acceleration are being found for the auxetic foams relative to their conventional counterparts.

We spoke to Dr Trudy Sevens to find out how our sonography degree apprenticeship is helping address skill shortages to support patient care.
Taking on asthma and transforming patient treatment
Many asthma attacks are brought on by panic at not having any reliever, leading to emergency hospital admissions. One of our students developed an idea for a new type of inhaler. We are currently negotiating a deal to make the product a commercial reality.
