Infusion Tube Holder

Infusion Tube Holder - open-source assistive technology prototype by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

Accidental disconnection of an infusion set during chemotherapy

cause damages: overflow of cytotoxic substances,

environmental pollution, contamination in the infusion

set, waste of nursing time & waste of a set of infusion

sets.

Who it helps

As a pediatric oncology patient, my chemotherapy tubes often broke due to movement, causing spills that risk burns, blood contamination, and environmental hazards. I aim to solve this problem by designing a safer, more secure solution for tube connections.

How it works

This innovative connector features a two-step locking mechanism, similar to a childproof door lock, to prevent accidental disconnections.

This is a 3D-printed external connector compatible with various infusion tube sizes.

Tools needed

Prusa slicer

FDM Printer
