first-aid project

For my Medical Device Design class, our first project was to design a first-aid product or improve an existing one. I decided to make a Band-Aid dispenser that you could use with just one hand, since I've noticed it's pretty hard to open those sterile bandage packages when you've cut your finger. My redesigned Band-Aid packaging comes with suction cups to mount it in the bathroom and a ratcheting crank to hold one side of the sterile packet while you peel off the outer covering.

A good post on Karen's Design Blog
I did come across a websitehttp://www.gotoaid.com/. It’s has all information on first aid emergencies. It has information on Human emergencies and even for pets like cat or dog. Hope it help you guys too.
