The Design Challenge -
In response to critical PPE shortages, PuraCath Medical required a revolutionary tabletop UV disinfection device to sterilize up to 10 N95 masks simultaneously within cramped hospital environments. The core design challenge centered on guaranteeing uniform UV exposure with zero shadowing on any part of the masks—requiring a mechanism to hold masks open and touchpoint-free—while ensuring the unit could adapt to highly constrained clinical workspaces.
