Brilliant. This is the promise of open source 3D printing. May they have enormous success over those who think healthcare is for the profit of the wealthy.

I’m skeptical of the strength of those tourniquet parts, I wonder if it actually works? Functional CAT knock-offs are less than $15 on amazon.

That’s awesome. Brilliant solution and a great read. Wishing her much success with this new approach!

In the article it says that the Tourniquet is field tested and over engineered compared to what is commercially available in Canada/US specifically because they are being used in adverse conditions.
