I’m an inquisitive designer. My current interest is emergency medical design as I have family and friends working in the industry. It has been my key contention to bring industrial design initiatives and paramedic procedures together.
Project Description:
The MIVA (Mobile Intra-Venous Access) system is the first of its kind. This concept was developed to revolutionise the IV procedure for Victorian paramedics. The automated system works in conjunction with ultrasound technology to achieve a patent line every time. With the aid of electroactive polymers, there is no longer a need for straps, elastic or faulty fasteners. The device will firmly grasp the patient throughout the re-designed procedure.

With the aid of the new MIVA cannula series, patients and paramedics are no longer subjected to sharp needles. This is achieved through the deployment of electroactive polymers. Without a minor electrical current, the cannula tip will remain soft and flexible.
