  1. Mechanical Properties of the Sacrospinous Ligament Team Members: Winston Becker, Kay Comer, and Kelsey Hales Advisor: Dr. Raffaella De Vita The goal of our senior design team is to design a testing protocol, quantify statistically significant mechanical properties, and determine the elastic behavior of the sacrospinous ligament to inform the development of treatments for pelvic floor disorders. Key Features: • Understanding pelvic ligaments’ material properties will aid in the treatment of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) • The sacrospinous ligament is used in the current treatment for PFD—particularly pelvic organ prolapse Deliverables: • Produce statistically significant mechanical properties for the sacrospinous ligament • Design a cutting instrument to obtain consistent, standardized samples Project Image Here
