CAESIM provides a non-invasive capability to assess catheter placement in the central venous system. Simulations of blood flow around the catheter are used to predict pressure and viscous forces acting on the device. This information is critical for catheter displacement evaluation inside the vein. CFD techniques produce fluid-structure interaction data usually not available directly from in vivo or in vitro measurements.
CAESIM has also been utilized in the development of a blood cardioplegia device, predicting heat transfer and flow characteristics.
