Cevec

Catheterisation system

A central venous catheter (CVC) is a thin tube that can be inserted into a patient’s large vein in order to administer medication or other fluids, especially if other methods of giving medication are not possible. However, current central venous catheterization methods require many tools and the special skills for using them appropriately. This becomes a problem for the application of a CVC in pre-hospital situations. Cevec is a product system that enables paramedics to insert a central venous catheter quickly and safely, taking into consideration the special conditions of emergency situations, such as shaky environments, untrained paramedi

JURY STATEMENT

The concept for Cevec is a product system that enables paramedics to place a central venous catheter quickly, safely and precisely at an angle of 40 degrees. A smart, simple solution for a well-known problem.

WINNER STATEMENT

It is a great honor to receive a design award in the category of healthcare! It was very interesting to work on this project, during which I had the wonderful opportunity of getting invaluable insights from physicians and paramedics. The fact that this project has been recognized with an iF DESIGN TALENT AWARD highly motivates me to work further in this field!
