Endotracheal Tube Clamp

Description

I was warned that there was a shortage of these clamps in local hospitals. These clamps are used when intubating patients to prevent the spread of any infectious diseases they might have. <h3>Usage:</h3> If you are planning to use this device: <ul> <li>Please test before using in a real situation. the device's performance depends on the manufacturing condition.</li> <li>This will likely be not as good as similar parts from approved sources.</li> <li>3D printed items can be porous and permeable. Please take this into account when considering reutilization.</li> <li>Use at your own risk and have redundant safety precautions</li> </ul> <h3>Manufacturing:</h3> If you want to manufacture this clamp, consider the following instructions, mostly taken from <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/27950-prusa-face-shield-us-version">PrusaPrinters faceshield</a>: <ul> <li>Act as if you were infected by the COVID-19 virus. Wear a face mask and a fresh pair of gloves when collecting each batch of printed parts. Store the parts immediately in a sealable bag.</li> <li>Talk with whoever you’re making the clamps for, let them know about your manufacturing environment</li> <li>There is still debate about how long the virus survives on plastic, but most sources mention 2-3 days. That means that by letting the packed clamps sit for 2-3 days before distributing them, you’ll greatly reduce risk of transmission</li> <li>Do not store the entire stock in one place, minimize the risk of cross contamination</li> <li>Do not hesitate to contact me with feedback or to ask for source code </li> </ul>
