Abstract

This paper discusses a fluid percussion device for brain injury. The injury is produced by striking the cork with a pendulum dropped from a known fall height to produce transient high pressure through a fluid transfer system. Experimental results show the device has the advantages of making a controllable, repeatable, and precise injury, and it can produce different levels of injury on different animals.
