In an achievement that reflects the excellence of Benha National University students and their ability to contribute to international research and applied innovation, Rawan Ahmed, a student at the University’s Faculty of Engineering, has led the team responsible for manufacturing the latest prototype of an innovative medical device at the University of Louisville in the United States. Her achievement has received media coverage from the American news outlets WDRB and WAVE.
Rawan’s experience took place through her participation in the University of Louisville’s Summer School programme, which gave her the opportunity to engage in an advanced academic and research environment and contribute to applied projects in engineering, medical innovation and advanced studies.
A report published by WDRB and WAVE highlighted an innovative medical device called Precisionject, designed to improve the precision of injection and aspiration procedures and enable healthcare professionals to control these procedures using one hand, particularly during ultrasound-guided medical interventions.
According to the report, Claustrum Design has received the latest prototype of the device, manufactured by a team led by Rawan Ahmed. She is contributing to the company’s work through an internship, demonstrating the engineering capabilities and practical skills that have enabled her to lead the team and contribute to a significant stage in the development of the innovation.
The device features an innovative design that allows clinicians to hold a syringe in a pen-like grip, while an internal motor enables controlled injection or fluid withdrawal. This design aims to improve precision and control during medical procedures.
Prof. Tamer Samir, President of Benha National University, reaffirmed the University’s commitment to supporting its students and providing opportunities to participate in international academic and training programmes. Such opportunities help develop their research and practical skills while connecting academic knowledge with real-world challenges.
He praised Rawan Ahmed’s achievement during her international experience and her leadership of the team responsible for manufacturing the device prototype. He also reaffirmed the University’s continued commitment to supporting outstanding students, fostering a culture of innovation and scientific research, and encouraging them to apply their knowledge to practical solutions that serve society.
