3D print file creates adapter for previously incompatible systems
Clinicians at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and its clinical partner, Nebraska Medicine, developed a new solution to chronic shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this case, they created a simple adapter that can be 3D-printed and used to maximize a hospital’s Powered Air Purifying Respirator fleet, or PAPR for short.
The adapter enables hospitals and other clinical setting to connect a 3M Versaflow air handling unit with a Dover brand Hood.
