Our device will be inflatable, made of a vinyl substance. When deflated, the product will be able to fold into a compact, portable size that can be easily transported. Each of the individual air pockets will inflate, creating a strong cast-like pressure on the fractured bone. The device will be able to inflate to different amounts in order to accommodate varying bones and sizes. | |||

As seen in our fundability worksheet in the last lab, we fell below the score needed to be truly fundable. To fix this we will need to figure out how to improve our design and improve our score as to get funding. With further research and thought, we will be able to achieve this. | |||

OUR TEAMLAB 2 WRITE-UPDevice Image and DescriptionInflatable splint mark 1: Inflatable splint mark 2: Our device will be inflatable, made of a vinyl substance. When deflated, the product will be able to fold into a compact, portable size that can be easily transported. Each of the individual air pockets will inflate, creating a strong cast-like pressure on the fractured bone. The device will be able to inflate to different amounts in order to accommodate varying bones and sizes.
Technical and Clinical FeasibilityTechnical Feasibility Technical Feasibility Score: 3 Our product would be using known technologies that are currently used with self-inflating life vests, paired with known materials such as rubber. We will have to do further research, however, in our methodology used to seal the components together in order to prevent rupturing during general use. Furthermore, an adjustment valve and alternative means of inflation paired with a selectively-flexible splint side will be necessary to fulfill our ultimate goal of making a device that can immobilize any appendage.
Clinical Feasibility Score: 3 As commented on during lab 1, we found several similar clinically successful devices that target single appendages on the body that are currently being sold in online stores. Though these devices are only realistically single-use, a problem our group is trying to solve, they are currently available without prescription or any major labeling hurdles needed to get them into the healthcare system.

Fundability DiscussionAs seen in our fundability worksheet in the last lab, we fell below the score needed to be truly fundable. To fix this we will need to figure out how to improve our design and improve our score as to get funding. With further research and thought, we will be able to achieve this.
