As we all know 3D printing has already set the range among the technologies. 3D printing has the potential to deliver fast solutions in emergency situations. Now in this coronavirus crisis, 3D-printing engineers are getting crafty.<\/p>\n

Recently an Italian business 3D-printed replacement valves for ventilators, badly needed by hospitals globally. Now the company called Isinnova has invented 3D-printed adapters. These 3D printed adapters can turn snorkeling\u00a0mask into a non-invasive ventilator for COVID-19 patients<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Isinnova team writes, \u201cIn recent days we have been contacted by a former head physician of the Gardone Valtrompia Hospital, Dr. Renato Favero, who got in touch with Isinnova through a doctor from the Chiari Hospital, the health facility for which we were manufacturing the emergency venturi valves,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDoctor Favero shared with us an idea to address the possible shortage of hospital C-PAP masks for sub-intensive oxygen therapy, which is emerging as a concrete problem linked to the spread of COVID-19: an emergency ventilator mask, produced by adjusting a commercially available snorkeling mask.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isinnova collaborated with the “Easybreath” snorkel-maker Decathlon. The company’s 3D printed prototype was developed using stereolithographic 3D printing. The prototype was “proven to be correctly working,” and hospital staff were “enthusiastic about the idea.”<\/p>\n
