The “Distancer”
Innovation can be simple yet effective. 3DLP and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Innovation Hub have designed and made 3D printable a device using an Anti-microbial material (Copper3D) to hold ID passes and to enable personnel to safely pass through doors.
A hospital based medical professional in their daily movements can pass through over 100 doors. Each door or ID access point can be a potential source of viral or bacterial contamination. Covid-19 has been observed to survive on hard surfaces for between 4 hours and 5 days.
