| case study:
Product was realised in the framework of the programme “ Ergonomy for medicine “ in 2010 and was the continuation of redesigning the suction units of AGA Labor producer. The aim was to design mobile, ergonomic workstation for integratation the most needed devices on operation theater. The users needs was deeply recognised during interviews and medical milieu observations. The work has resulted in product which increases the user’s work efficiency and the level of safety. The housing is made of Quadur material with recyclate addings in the mobile platform for weighting up. Its physical features allow for shaping smooth surfaces without unwanted edges, easy to clean – hard to make dirty. Modern technology of polyester composite QCI – Quadur Composite Injection was applied.
