    Background

    The contents of a spaceflight medical kit include:
    1. Syringe
    2. Forceps
    3. Scalpel
    4. Thermometer
    5. Elastic wrap for sprains
    6. Bandages
    7. Neck brace

    Challenge

    Crew members traveling long distances from Earth can’t run to the local emergency clinic when they get a fever or break a bone. Space agencies provides a medical kit for missions, so that in contingency circumstances, the crewmembers can care for themselves. The further we get from home and from the possibility of resupply missions, the more flexibility we need for crew healthcare. 3D printing technology may be a way to help provide this care for crew members on long-duration missions. We need your help modeling medical devices that will not only be useful in space but also for remote health medicine situations on Earth.

    Considerations

    • You can model and print any or all of these devices, or create new medical devices or equipment you believe should be included.
    • You can reimagine the medical kit packaging that can be modeled and printed.
    • Be creative.

    Sample Resources (Participants do not have to use these resources, and NASA in no way endorses any particular entity listed).


  • The following projects are solving this challenge:

    • Medical kit Reloaders

      We have been de-constructing medical equipment from the NASA medkit and re-designing it in modules, separating the parts that cannot be 3D printed (such as metal parts or needles) and working to produce the schematics for the parts that can be 3D-printed (such as the body of a syringe, and ...

    • Apolo Flight

      We had an idea for better future, improving the NASA space flight. So, we accepted the NASA "3D ASTROMED DEVICES" with an idea to do different medical equipment that will not only serve komsonautite but people all over the world. Visit Project

    • (3D PMDS) :3D printed Medical Devices For Space

      Project: 3D printed Medical Devices For Space (3D PMDS) Aim: to help crew members in space to find medical devices easily as we use some materials that they use daily in drinking like bottles to convert it to another useful devices like syringes. Simple shapes can be fabr... Visit Project

    • ya3damdp

      How do we conciliate bio-hazard and on-field re-usability whilst minimizing both risks to the crew and building materials waste? A blend of earth-made, high-durability components (e.g. syringe needle, cleaning/heating vessel), and meltable ones (thermometer tips), along with attention to the s... Visit Project

Most of materials we use are parts of Toys to assemble of mechanical and electronic. To construct the sensor loss resistance (pressure drop) desig... Visit Project

    • 3D AstroMed Devices

      We started to make 3D models of Medical Kits first. After reviewing that it is now best for the 3D printing, then we will move to 3D Printing stage. Basic purpose is to help crew members in space to find medical devices for their daily use. Devices like syringes, Scalpels, etc Simple shapes and... Visit Project
