About the solution
Dhaval Trivedi designed a 3D printed toothbrush for ventilated patients to be used when disposable products are not available. Good oral care of ICU patients is linked to better survivorship and reduced ventilatory associated pneumonia.
Dhaval’s open-source design requires a 3D printed part and cotton gauze.
