Low Cost Origami Ventilator by https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb Article by C. Hastings Published September 20, 2021 en-us 2021-10-05 00:47:21 UTC 2025-11-13 01:50:26 UTC hello@padlet.com ashleyanngreenlee https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791250697 COVID has turned our world upside in every way possible. But, researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Canada have found a solution to the ventilator shortage. 3D printing + origami = solution! SFU has discovered how to 3D print an origami tube in place of the traditional ventilator bag. This method only cost $200, whereas a standard portable ventilator will run about $2,000. ]]> 2021-10-05 01:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791250697 ashleyanngreenlee https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791255265

Unknown how long these will last
Time to test and get approved for actual patients]]> 2021-10-05 01:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791276377 ashleyanngreenlee https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791280983 2021-10-05 01:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791280983 ashleyanngreenlee https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791291059 Ever since 3D printing began, it has made major improvements to medical advances. I think this is a great place to start solving the ventilator shortage but it definitely needs more testing on actual patients. I also think that before we put this out in the acute care setting, research needs to answer and address the concerns about sterilization between patients. Is this a single use vent, because if so in the end it won't be very cost efficient. ]]> 2021-10-05 01:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791291059 Angelica is analytical ashleyanngreenlee https://padlet.com/ashleyanngreenlee/ovka3ueirs7u0lmb/wish/1791333467 Angelica plans for every possible outcome.
