make your own Box

Design objectives

We adjusted the design of the original box to better suit the needs of Canadian Hospitals in the following ways:

  • Designed it to be flat-packable and easily assembled with zip-ties

  • CNC machinable by anyone with a CNC Router with a ¼” bit

  • Increased the size from 50cm Wide X 50cm Tall X 40cm Long, to: 24” Wide X 24” Tall X 16” Long (~60cm X ~60cm X 40.5cm)

  • Increased diameter of arm holes from 10cm Diameter to 5.5” Diameter (~14cm)

  • Added Covers to arm holes to close the box when intubation isn’t in progress
