The need: A less expensive approach for limb immobilization (splint) during ambulance transport Cost of existing splints = $100-200
Manufacturing in Delhi box factory Cost per unit estimate: 8 cents
Phase-2 Trial at AIIMS* Femoral fracture During X-Ray Tibial fracture *All India Institute of Medical Sciences
Trying hard to commercialize… YearProjectStatus • 08 Fecal Incontinence (COSAT) • Intraosseus Infusion (COSAT) • 09 Limb Immobilization0* • Neonatal hearing 0 • 11 Still inventing 0 *total cost of project to date = $3000
Features of Course/Program Lessons learned: • Good need, concept and market not enough to translate • Mentorship of in-country phase is challenging • Progress depends on relationships, communication, time in country.
