In Spain there are more than 70,000 ostomized patients and 13,000 new ones are added each year.
In-depth research based on personal interviews and data collection, we discovered the number of problems patients with an ostomy experience.
Airin is a medical instrument designed for the post-operative period of an ostomy operation. With Airin, it is estimated to reduce the hospital stay time from 35 days to a maximum of 7-8 days.
The challenges were isolating the sutures from the stool and avoiding the risk of stenosis. In addition, we managed to get the patient to recover at home, thanks to the portability of his small motor box.
The entire system has been designed to be as sustainable as possible thanks to adapters that allow reuse of everything except the part that is inserted into the body....
