In this week’s “From Academia”, we picked three recent publications around 3D printed medical devices against COVID-19 pandemic. The first article describes a “home-made” wifi-connected pulse oximeter that transmits live data to a patient’s family doctors. 3D printing was used for parts of this device. The second article highlighted some of the safety concerns, design considerations, waste generation and disposal, intellectual property and manufacturing regulations, and the sanitization of 3D-printed personal protective equipment. The final article described a 3D-printed nasopharyngeal swab collection simulator for COVID-19 testing. Comprehensive 3D files for printing and full instructions for manufacturing this simulator is freely available online via an open-access link in the article link.

“From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications. Subjects include but not limited to healthcare 3D printing, 3D bioprinting, and related emerging technologies.

In this week’s issue of “From Academia”, we share two recent publications focusing on designs and testings of open-source 3D printed medical devices. The first article presents the design and development of an open-source bag valve mask (BVM) compression system based on the structure of a RepRap 3D printer. The second article also demonstrates the design and development of an open-source powered air-purifying particulate respirator (PAPR). The open source PAPR can be fabricated with a low-cost 3D printer and widely available and inexpensive components. “From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications. Subjects include but not limited to healthcare 3D printing, 3D bioprinting, and related emerging technologies.
