In March 2020, a family in Italy3D printingThe company uses 24 hours to design and3D printing100 ventilator valves were sent to Brescia Hospital (intensive care of 250 coronavirus patients). This is a valve that connects the intensive care patient to the ventilator. The valve can be used for up to 8 hours at a time. At present, the original supplier of the ventilator valve was unable to quickly supply the new valve, so the hospital contacted Isinnova CEO Cristian Fracassi.
3D printingThe production cost of each valve is less than 1 Euro (only 9 Maou), and the prototype design took three hours.
Then, Isinnova and another local3D printingThe machine company Lonati teamed up to print and produce together. Isinnova owns six3D printingMachine3D printingOne part takes 1 hour.
They are working for free, but they do not plan to release the design publicly.
△The valve is about 10 cm (4 inches) high and 3 cm in diameter
The hole of the valve is very small, the wall is very thin, less than 0.8mm, you want3D printingGood is not easy. Moreover, there must be no pollution, and medical grade production requirements must be met. Despite this, the second hospital has also begun to contact them, seeking more valves.
