Surgical Sterilization Container
During my first year at McMaster University, I undertook an inspiring project centered around designing a surgical sterilization container. This innovative endeavor aimed to create a container that could securely hold surgical instruments and be seamlessly integrated into a sterilization unit. Throughout the project, I immersed myself in the world of 3D modeling, utilizing software like Autodesk Inventor to meticulously design the container's form and functionality. The iterative design process allowed me to explore various concepts, ensuring that the final prototype would meet the specific needs of healthcare professionals and streamline the sterilization process. Beyond the virtual realm, I enthusiastically embraced hands-on work, creating physical prototypes of the surgical container. These tangible models allowed me to assess the container's feasibility, identify potential improvements, and gain valuable insights from practical testing. The project proved to be a remarkable learning experience, fueling my passion for product design and instilling in me a profound appreciation for the impact of innovative solutions in the medical field.
What?
I took charge of spearheading the design and development of a cutting-edge surgical sterilization container with the primary objective of effectively sterilizing surgical tools. The project was centered around creating a secure and efficient container capable of safely holding and processing delicate surgical instruments during the sterilization procedure. Throughout the project, I embraced a hands-on approach, engaging in 3D modeling and prototyping to bring the concept to life. These physical prototypes allowed for practical testing and refinement, leading to an optimized and reliable container design. The project proved to be a remarkable learning experience, cultivating my passion for medical device design and inspiring dedication to making a positive impact on healthcare practices.
