Abstract

Understanding how medical-grade Chemical Sterilization and High-Level Disinfection (HLD), and usage of the device in context affect the integrity of the device within its expected lifetime, and to suggest material choice, manufacturing method and recommend design changes for a syringe extension device, to be used for Manual Vacuum Aspiration Procedures in East Africa.
