An epoxy cure mishap left our saline delivery tube fully clogged, so no fluid could flow as intended. But that didn\u2019t stop the test. A small dab of saline applied directly to steak tissue still produced visible coagulation with an estimated depth of 4-5 mm. Even without full functionality, the result was clear and encouraging.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team02\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/207\/2025\/12\/Capture.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team02\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/207\/2025\/12\/Capture.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team02\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/207\/2025\/12\/Capture-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2526team02\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/207\/2025\/12\/Capture-255x210.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The device is showing promising behavior, and now we move into an exciting next phase.
