Design Process
The Problem
Due to the lack of existing medical infrastructures & no convenient access to hospital facilities, makeshift shelter can only accommodate basic surgical procedures. How can we assure the doctors to have an access to fully sterilized equipments (reusable)? |
Design Considerations
With the considerations of the needs of the doctors & nurses, S+erilizer is designed to be light & easy to operate while reducing the risk of contamination of instruments. |
Key Features
The design of S+erilizer will not hinder the usual surgical procedure, enabling convenient & quick access of correct instruments at point of need & assuring of sterilised instruments that can be used for subsequent next surgeries. |

Potential markets
S+erilizer have the potential to enter the disposable medical supply industry, where the mat is single-use usage. The compact packing of it renders doctors to bring several more mats that are sufficient throughout his trip to developing countries.
