Volunteers produce life-saving valves for an Italian hospital to treat patients affected by Coronavirus


A group of Italian volunteers distributed 3D printed versions of a vital medical device. Cristian Fracassi and Alessandro Romaioli used their 3D printer to create unofficial copies of a patented valve, which was scarcely available in Italian hospitals.A hospital in Italy needed valves after being exhausted during the treatment of patients for COVID-19. The hospital's usual supplier said they couldn't make the valves in time to treat patients. So, this started the search for a way to 3D print part of the replica and Cristian Fracassi and Alessandro Romaioli, who work in the Italian start-up‘Isinnova’, offered their company's printer for this job.

So far, the valves they have made have worked on 10 patients since March 14, according to Massimo Temporelli, the founder of the Italian company FabLab, who helped recruit Fracassi and Romaioli to print the valves."Patients were life threatening people and we acted," Fracassi said in a Facebook post. He also said that "we have no intention of profiting from this situation, we will not use the designs or the product beyond the strict need. who asked us to act and we will not spread the patented valve design”.Italy has recorded more than 41000 confirmed COVID-19 infections, and over 3400 confirmed deaths.
