Rapid prototyping assisted fabrication of a device for medical infusion therapy using TRIZ

With the development of society, more and more attentions are paid to the medical equipment or devices that have much help to improve people’s life quality. The use of intravenous (IV) supply bags and bottles to introduce nutrient, therapeutic and medicinal fluids into the human body is well-known in the art. Typically, such systems have a container suspended above a patient by means of an IV bag stand or the like. In the present work the authors proposed a Rapid Prototyping (RP) assisted fabrication of a simple mechanical device which can be used for medical infusion therapy in to the human body.
