Reusable 3D-Printed Face Mask

   
   Rowan University engineering and clinical college students have evolved a prototype for a durable, lightweight, reusable face masks to reinforce the deliver of face masks at some stage in the modern scarcity of PPE all through the COVID-19 outbreak. Developed in collaboration with clinical professionals, the mask prototype might also serve in medical and discipline use. If printed, used, and maintained correctly, the mask provides a durable, reusable mechanical barrier.



Ease of installation and use

   The prototype offers components: a contoured mask and filter housing. No special tools are needed for assembly. The replaceable nonwoven clear out materials endorsed for the filter out housing are extensively available. The masks may be printed in three sizes, all with the equal size clear out housing. The contoured mask can be more intently molded to the user’s face by using submerging the rims in hot water and pressing it to reform the form in opposition to the face.

New ventilator mask protects entire face from coronavirus

https://www.israel21c.org/new-ventilator-mask-protects-entire-face-from-coronavirus/ Many people are wearing facemasks to avoid breathing airborne coronavirus particles, and to keep from touching their noses and mouths. However, even N95 masks can’t fully block tiny virus particles and can’t kill the virus (two masks  under development in Israel  aim to do that). Any blocked viral particles stay on the mask’s surface and pose a hazard when handled and thrown away. Furthermore, facemasks don’t cover eyes. Although the nose is the main route for coronavirus into the lungs,  some researchers believe  the eye’s conjunctiva is another possible point of entry. That’s why Israeli physician and serial medical-device inventor Dr. Noam Gavriely worked quickly to develop what he calls the  ViriMASK Protective Oculo-Respirator . ViriMASK is strapped around the head, covering the eyes with a see-through visor and the nose and mouth with a filtering mechanism....

HealthyPi

  The HealthyPi was designed with not just one application in mind, but a variety of them. While it does function as a vital sign monitor for traditional patient monitoring applications, it can also be used for several other applications. You can use it with a Raspberry Pi using a display; use it with a Raspberry Pi with the official touchscreen using our “Complete Kit,” or you can use it standalone by connecting it to any computer’s USB port. The software is compatible across all platforms.                                                                         Resources: https://github.com/Protocentral/protocentral-healthypi-v3 http://healthypi.protocentral.com
