Folding Intubation Box
04/08/20
Based on the feedback that the doctors gave us on the last version of the intubation box Zach and I made, I decided to start from scratch with a total different approach to this intubation box.
It is proposed a folding kirigami intubation box. Points that we are solving immediately form the feedback are:
- Completely transparent
- No sharp edges
- There are no worrying gaps
Added extra interesting features are:
- From a 4 x 8 ft sheet of PETG two intubation boxes can be made
- Cutting on the Zund in 3.5 min per box
- Flat storage
- Protective plastic that helps on deliver non-contaminated devices
On the other hand, there are two aspects we have to iterate on this design. One is it is more than 20 seconds assembly and the other one is that on the patient side of the box, the structural integrity can be improved. We will work on that points towards.
For the time being, this is de 2d design and the folded device.
Mock-up has been made with a 4 by 8 ft PETG sheet 0.5mm thickness. Cut on the Zund with the EOT1 and z22 blade, 100mm linear velocity and the creasing tool at 500 mm/min.
