Continuous positive airway pressure

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure ventilator, which applies mild air pressure on a continuous basis. It keeps the airways continuously open in people who are able to breathe spontaneously on their own, but need help keeping their airway unobstructed. It is an alternative to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Both modalities stent the lungs' alveoli open and thus recruit more of the lung's surface area for ventilation, but, while PEEP refers to devices that impose positive pressure only at the end of the exhalation, CPAP devices apply continuous positive airway pressure throughout the breathing cycle. Thus, the ventilator itself does not cycle during CPAP, no additional pressure above the level of CPAP is provided, and patients must initiate all of their breaths.^[1]

Ventilaid breathing device Mk III

VentilAid is a very simple, yet effective device for non-invasive ventilation. It is especially projected to help patients suffering from COVID-19. VentilAid helps breathing, prevents alveoli from collapsing and monitors patients health. Major features Compactness and mobility Universal power supply Automatic function in CPAP and BiPAP modes FiO2 do 70%, Up to 70% FiO2 Pressure up to 15 cm H2O (wi th a greater technical capablity of up to 30cm H2O) The device adapts to the breathing rhythm of the patient https://www.ventilaid.org/ventilaid-breathing-device-mk-iii/

Mask Strap Efficiency This simple but useful tool is designed to make face masks less painful to wear for medical workers treating coronavirus patients. The part is made by printing a set, and then connecting with any filament which will also set its width. In this way, the filament which is needed for a single print is reduced and 18 sets on a 250x250mm print bed are allowed. Small protrusions on both sides of the plastic buckle hold the mask strap and the mask strap does not exert painful pressure on the ears. References: Michael B. ( 2020 ). Prusa Printers.

COVID19 Glove Remover Hook to remove the gloves after use. Designed to hang on a door, without installation. After removing both gloves, we can throw them away by holding the hook at the back, without having to make contact with the gloves. There are three models for different door thicknesses: 35mm, 40mm and 45mm link: https://grabcad.com/library/covid19-glove-remover-1
