Pal: Ideal IVs at home

Drip - a medical device, which allows for a kind of exchange: the freedom of movement for health. What would it not assigned (and it is a very wide range of indications), the treatment it requires someone’s help and attracts patients to the bed. And even setting IVs at home - it’s just a boring replacement hospital on the interior comfort of home, but all the same stiffness. ”Perfect drip at home” Pal will be able to change things, which can be used alone and carry with you, where you like.

Inventor of the “perfect IVs at home”, American designer Andrew Seunghyun Kim, consulted with a team of doctors, and tried to cross out all the specific features of the device, which makes it inconvenient to use an independent. Immediately struck by a new form: the center of gravity is down, and so easy to roll Pal as a trolley. At the bottom is the “engine” that creates necessary pressure in the bag with the medicine through the peristaltic movements that are not pushing a cord. In this package does not need to be above the patient’s head. Pal charged from the outlet.

The management interface is very simple: with a single touch you can set the small screen the desired dosage, concentration, duration of procedure and other parameters. Of course, to get a needle into the vein itself, will need a certain skill.

Using a dropper at home, writes Andrew Seunghyun Kim, will have a serious psychological effect, one thing to be a helpless patient, bedridden, and quite another – free and almost healthy. Under these conditions, recovery will go much faster. And even if you use a dropper Pal for treatment of severe patients who are not going particularly pace, nurses will be much easier to deal with it than with a conventional device.

So far, the Pal is at the stage of concept design, but very successful and well thought out. So if a couple of years past you carelessly pass through the park a heavy patient on a drip – not surprised.
