Abstract
Abstract : The objective of this project was to design and develop a lightweight, compact, effective, and easily operated medical suction pump for the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Current battlefield suction pumps are substandard in their performance; these commercially available, hand-powered suction pumps are large and have low durability, making them unsuitable for use in the field. Using initial design requirements provided by the military, research was performed to determine the best concepts for the application. Two of these concepts were developed first into product designs, then into working prototypes. These prototypes were evaluated against off-the-shelf suction pumps using the provided design guidelines. It was found that the prototypes outperformed the commercial pumps in weight, size, and suction.
