Was it tested ? | Yes, at University Hospital Limerick |
Design features :
- Self-Seal using physiotherapy resistance band
- Slanted Top for better view (65°)
- Extra hole for assistant
- Seals can come apart at the end to increase washability.
- Viral filter port (for a “standard filter”, need to find this dimension if necessary)
Drawbacks :
- No aerosol containment
- Removing the elastic band seems difficult, could be easier and disposable.
