About this project
The team developed a silicone cup that siphons the urine into a container located on the side of the wheelchair, that can be emptied, sterilized, and reused.
The challenge
Because of his condition, Valen cannot walk or go to the bathroom independently, so there must be an adult with him at all times. Valen came to TOM looking for a way to use the bathroom independently.
Who it helps
Valentino is 11 years old and lives in Pacheco, Buenos Aires with his parents and brother. Valen is very sociable; he plays chess and he is part of Powerchair Football Argentina. He suffers from Spinal muscular atrophy type 2 (SMA II), an inherited condition that affects his muscles.
