Update: Nasopharyngeal swabs readily available to European and US medical industry and testing centers

Belgian 3D printing company, Ziggzagg has received a CE certification for their HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology 3D printed nasopharyngeal swabs. Ziggzagg is the first company in the world to receive this certification for 3D printed nasopharyngeal swabs. CE certification means that the product meets EU standards for health, safety, and environmental protection and so can be sold and used within the EU and countries recognizing the CE mark.

HP worked closely with leading researchers at Harvard University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to assist with gathering test data and refining 3D printed nasopharyngeal test swab designs, materials, and printing capacity. The Abiogenix spiral swab, 3D printed by FATHOM, using HP MJF technology, was one of four swab prototypes—selected after the review of more than 100 designs—that showed excellent concordance with the controls in the IRB-approved clinical trial. The Abiogenix swab is readily available to the US medical industry and testing centers.

Mask sealer by Twikit

Mask sealer by Twikit

Use a mask sealer to optimize both comfort and sealing of your FFP2, surgical or textile mouth mask.

The mask sealer is a 3D printed frame designed for solid sealing around the mouth & nose area.

By the use of a 2-point measuring system (nose-to-chin) the wearer can choose between 5 sizes for a solid, comfortable sealing. As the mask sealer is 3D printed in soft grade TPU, the sealer is reusable and easily adjusts itself around the user’s face.

An average of 300 units can be produced per TPU build with HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solutions.

Wrist cover

Wrist cover

Currently, some hospital staff need to use two gloves in order to fully cover the part of their arms that could get exposed between the end of a lab coat sleeve and the end of a glove: One interior glove to close the end of the sleeve of the lab coat, and then a disposable glove on top of the interior glove. This sterilizable wrist cover device was designed based on feedback from hospital staff, who were looking for a way to cover the exposed skin on their arm, whilst minimizing the number of gloves that are used unnecessarily, as these are currently in short supply.

This device does not replace PPE. USE ALWAYS with gloves and medical gown. This is a supplementary device that should always be used on top of homologated PPE.

Approximately 84 sets of Wrist Covers can be produced in a full build with HP Jet Fusion 5200 and 4200 3D Printing Solutions.

Ventilator components+1 design

Field respirator

Field respirator

First industrialized field 3D printed emergency respiration device to support hospitals and ICUs. A mechanical bag valve mask (BVM) that can be used for short term emergency ventilation of COVID-19 patients. 3D printing allows this health system to be made available quickly during the shortage of medical equipment. With HP Multi Jet Fusion technology and existing capabilities in the alliance, both in design and in prototyping, the functionality of this first model of the largely 3D printed emergency respiration device has been developed and tested. Industrially scalable – expectation is that the production capacity of between 50 and 100 units per day can be reached.

Design created by Leitat senior engineer Mr. Magí Galindo, and medically validated by Dr. Lluís Blanch, Director of Innovation at the Hospital Parc Taulí in Sabadell, an expert in mechanical ventilation.

Please stay tuned as more designs are made available.
