Research groups such as National Niigata Hospital and Hiroshima University have developed parts for ventilators that can be easily manufactured with a XNUMXD printer and do not require power.As the infection of the new coronavirus is spreading, it seems to be useful in the medical field where there is a shortage of ventilators.Currently, we are soliciting donations to accelerate research.
According to the National Niigata Hospital, the development was led by Naoyuki Ishikita, director of the Pathophysiology Laboratory for Neuromuscular Pathophysiology.The developed component is installed between the oxygen cylinder and the tube that passes through the airway, and the built-in spiral spring force assists the patient's breathing.In addition to being able to be used in an environment without electricity, if you have a 8D printer, you can easily make it in any place such as outer space.The production time is about XNUMX hours.
Newton, a medical device manufacturer, is participating in the joint research, and it is expected that manufacturing and sales will begin immediately after the practical research is completed and medical device certification is obtained.The research team plans to provide the data necessary for the policy free of charge.
In Italy, where the explosive spread of the new coronavirus continues, the shortage of ventilators has become a major issue in the medical field.If the infection spreads to developing countries such as Africa in the future, it is expected that there will be a more serious shortage of ventilators, and if it is put into practical use, it will be a great force in the medical field.
Currently, this ventilator model shows a video of the long-term endurance test.We are also accepting donations to accelerate research.See below for details.
