3D Printed Valves for Hospital Respirator
As the Covid-19 pandemic was ramping up in Italy, a hospital in the hard-hit Brescia area of northern Italy was facing a distressing situation: While they had the equipment needed to provide the oxygen stricken patients need to breath, they had run out of venturi valves (as these need to be changed for each new patient). Even worse, the device manufacturer was unable to provide replacement valves. In desperation, the hospital turned to a local engineering firm who reverse engineered a replacement and created the needed valves using a 3D printer.
