The Brief

This was a product design exercise done during my internship at Cohesive Labs, Pune. A laryngoscope is a critical device used in first response to insert the ventilator pipe in the throat. This was an explorative project delving into understanding and creating forms which follow this very specific function.


The Concept

The prototype was 3D printed and shipped off for testing. The 3D printed model was used to better understand the ergonomics and the physical space it took. Various grips and pressure points were tested against the 3D printed model.

Market Analysis

The market broadly divides the type of laryngoscope among two categories. One is a cheap and sturdy one made out of stainless steel, where the hook can be removed and folded. The second one is a more advanced variety where the hook has a camera attached with a screen on  top of it and the assembly cannot be dismantled.
