ORLANDO, Fla. – Two teams more than 3,000 miles apart are coming together in hopes of helping hospitals across the country with 3D ventilators. “The first time I got to hear the device in testing and just hearing it breathe kind of in the background, it was overwhelming and it was so moving,” Albert Manero, president of Limbitless Solutions said about a new 3D ventilator that could possibly be used to fight COVID-19.
Limbitless Solutions, a nonprofit organization based in the University of Central Florida and which specializes in prosthetics for children joined forces with a medical team at Oregon Health and Science University to create 3D ventilators.
