HELIX

The infectious waste that a patient produces cannot be processed for recycling and must be incinerated due to the risks of contagion. Within this project what we seek is to generate a modification in some of the disposable devices used in the health sector in order to make an impact on what the human being causes in the natural cycle and to give rise to new research and projects that support this theory.

HELIX is a syringe that can be made of a single material in different densities and hardness for it’s functionality without affecting the structure of the object. A conventional syringe uses 5 materials where we find steel, polyethylene, rubber, resin, glue and heat dye which makes it a more laborious hybrid to process.

HELIX can be compacted using only 30% of space compared to the conventional syringe, making its storage easier and safer. In addition to that they can be processed in incinerated in more number due to their size saving energy and processes.

HELIX introduces WHO-imposed markings into its design in addition to have better exploiting opportunities for comfort and task for nurses.
