Validation of a novel medical device (Chloe SED®) for the administration of analgesia during manual vacuum aspiration
A randomized controlled non-inferiority pilot study
Introduction: Millions of women worldwide annually undergo manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) with no pain medication, which is a violation of their basic human dignity. We designed a novel device (Chloe SED®) to administer paracervical block (PCB) during MVA in countries where pain

Design of a syringe extension device (Chloe SED®) for low-resource settings in sub-Saharan Africa
A circular economy approach
Underfunded healthcare infrastructures in low-resource settings in sub-Saharan Africa have resulted in a lack of medical devices crucial to provide healthcare for all. A representative example of this scenario is medical devices to administer paracervical blocks during gynaecolog

Healthcare facilities in low-resource settings in Sub-Saharan Africa are plagued
with issues of non-functional and obsolete medical devices, which ultimately
end up prematurely disposed of as waste. With increasing healthcare demands,
stopping medical device disposal is imperativ

The frugal design of a medical centrifuge
Distributed production as a frugal technology to increase access to medical devices in low- and middle-income countries
A growing awareness of health as a human right, mainly in low- and middle-income countries, is promoting universal health access for increasing numbers of people. Universal access to health to a large extent depends on access to medical equipment and medical staff. In this chapte
