裁剪教程:医用防护衣(PPE)

继医用头罩和医用靴罩,我们收到了设计简单化医用防护衣的“任务”。我们开始研究如何简化设计与构造,就算没有资深缝纫经验的志愿者也能快速完成。 传统的医用防护衣在袖口处需要用到松紧带。关于这一点我们与医生进行了讨论。为Covid-19患者治疗前,戴上手套是标准的防护措施(PPE)之一。我们参考了一些款式的防护衣后,决定以腕带代替松紧带。腕带可自行调整松紧度,或以拇指穿进袖口缝隙中固定位置。 大多数的防护衣都会车缝上包边,看起来更整齐美观。然而,如果是厚度够的无纺布(我们使用55gsm的无纺布制作)

教程:医用靴套 (PPE)

继医用头罩教程推出后,今天我们推出了另外一款简单的PPE医护用具设计供您为医护人员缝制:医用靴套。只需5分钟就能制成一件,对于初学者来说相当容易缝制。 传统的一次性医用靴套需要用到橡胶松紧带车缝在顶部开口处。然而,因Covid-19疫情严重加上行动管制令的关系导致大部分人难以购入大量的橡胶松紧带。在我们与志愿者进行讨论后,我们一致同意使用束带拉绳取代橡胶松紧带。将束带拉绳系在前面,以方便使用者穿戴。 材料选项: 1. 医用无纺布 2. 新的一次性雨衣(厚版) 3. 新的垃圾袋(厚版) 注:如果

DIY布制口罩教程(可塞滤材)

你会为了购买卫生纸或口罩而去到人挤人的地方抢购吗? (Click here for the English version of this post.) 随着Covid-19疫情日益严重,很多人都开始囤购口罩,洗手液和卫生纸。由于我们无法“缝制”洗手液或卫生纸(也不想缝制)。因此,我们尝试自己来缝制口罩。刚好我在面子书上阅读到一篇由台湾医生所分享的文章,内容关于布制口罩的实用性和优点。而最让我感兴趣的是,布制口罩可以清洗和反复使用。 我一直对布制口罩的防护作用保持着半信半疑的态度。然而,陈冠廷
