Purpose/Goal:
Current biomedical foreign body retrieval devices often fail after pediatric airway insertion, rendering retrieval and other specifications worthless. The team aimed to develop a foreign body retrieval basket that exhibited the following qualities:
– Deployment of basket
– Capture of all types of foreign body
– Retention of foreign body long enough for expulsion
