Emergency equipment cart
Baggage cart with large stable wheels, adapted with an extra shelf. A multi-compartment bag stands on each level. The bags contain items such as a portable suction device with suction catheters, a water bottle to clean the suction device, a bag valve mask, and other products that may be needed such as compressor, gloves etc.
Users comments
The user is ventilator-dependent. Since she cannot cough she also depends on a suction device. When she goes out she brings a suction device with her, as well as a backup ventilator in case the ventilator she uses should break or the battery runs out.
Since the wheels are large it is easy to pull the trolley along everywhere.
