Sr. R&D Engineer
Children's National Hospital
Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Paige is a research engineer in the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National in Washington, DC. She works with a team focused on 3D modeling for improved surgical outcomes and minimally invasive surgery innovation and device development. The team has identified a need for patient specific tissue engineered vascular grafts that allow for complex shapes and vascular growth as the patient develops. The team is contributing to the creation of patient specific grafts, primarily focusing on a personalized design to repair complex congenital defects and the testing of fluid dynamics in the designed grafts. Paige is skilled in the creation of anatomical 3d models from patient scans. Additionally, Paige works with a team developing an access tool, called PeriPath, as a minimally invasive alternative to placing epicardial pacing leads where a vascular approach is not available due to small size or complex vasculature, as well as other cardiac devices for improved patient outcomes.
Paige's skills include 3D modeling and printing of anatomical structures, designing surgical devices for cardiac procedures, and laboratory and animal experiments to demonstrate device effectiveness.She has experience designing personal mobility devices for improved user experience and holds patents for mobility and cardiac devices. Previously, she worked at Medline Industries testing medical equipment in accordance with ISO standards. Her experience includes conducting testing in a GLP lab setting, writing protocols for the testing of medical devices and equipment, and designing equipment to meet user needs and intended outcomes. Paige continues to pursue interests in device innovation for improved user experience and patient outcomes.
