Abstract
Rapid prototyping (RP) is a popular method for product development and design in medical industries. Endotracheal tube (ETT) incubation is a common problem when using medical equipment. Among the difficulties that surgeons face during surgical procedures are the misinsertion of an endotracheal tube into the oesophagus and extubation due to the patient's limited mobility. The aim of this work is to design an innovative endotracheal tube holding model. The survey was carried out in order to identify the most common ETT problems. As a result, quality functional deployment and product design and development methodologies were utilised to select the design for all of the ideas, which were designed based on the demands indicated by the consumers. The concept score matrix was used to evaluate the designs. As a result, concept A is selected as the final design. The overall score for each concept was calculated to discover which concept has the highest rating. Based on the results of the concept scoring and concept screening, concept A is the most likely to be produced. The concept meets the most demanding needs of the users. The selected design was then created on the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) machine.
