CoronaVent1 - New ventilator can save lives and create jobs
UWTSD’s Assistive Technologies Innovation Centre (ATiC) together with a team of Swansea University doctors and engineers have designed a new ventilator that can be built quickly from local parts and – crucially - used even for patients with severe coronavirus.
The new design, called CoronaVent-One, can be built easily from generic parts and plastic panels.
As well as saving lives, the new design can help create jobs and boost economic recovery because global demand for ventilators is likely to remain high as the pandemic continues.
