Medical Aspirator (EWH)

Project Overview

Most developing world hospitals do not possess operating suction machines. The main problems are the lack of available spare parts, the cost of a replacement unit, and dependence on consistent electricity. The objective of this project is to design and develop a medical grade aspirator that can be manufactured inexpensively from locally available materials. Along with the device, an instruction manual will be produced to allow for proper usage and care in the future.
